Clerihew
American poet Robert Frost,
whose two roads many have never crossed.
Someone taunted him, “You write on subjects”,
“You write bric-a-brac”, said he, with respect. _________________ the trouble with poetry is that it encourages the writing of more poetry -- Billy Collins |

I like that old fella, too.
Just tried to write something funny. But it's not, I know. _________________ the trouble with poetry is that it encourages the writing of more poetry -- Billy Collins |

good, like it.
Lake is almost known for liking Robert Frost;
if wanting to be closer to that poem,
"whose two roads many have never crossed"
may also be expressed as
whose "Two roads diverged in a" forest
though Frost and forest a little rhyme variation,
but fun for a Clerihew
a copy of that poem for readers;
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. _________________ (在不斷的審醜裡終將建立起新的審美) |

What a great funny line with that "forest" at the end! Can I steal it, Mark?

who can argue now stealing is
not a virtue as he stole from a wood
did you trace him into one road
did i catch him in the other
that presentable as a poem's merit

It's not very funny. Some say, I need to be a little bit mean. So this is not mean enough.
