Time for a poem. Complete the Robert Frost classic "The Road Not Taken."

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,
...

Chert get's firsties with
" A road I'll stray on all my days,
To heaven or hell by winding ways."

Second up is Chewy:
" tripped on a rotten root, scraped my knee and fell into a patch of poison ivy."

Deborah
stays within the rhyming scheme (yay!) and gives us:
" Which explains the frequent suspense."

Using a word I'm a sucker for, David contributes:
" One went low and one went high, but I

I just wish I felt more spry"

    Nice. Breaks Frost's intended rhyming scheme, but still flows nicely. I give that an A.

    Don't talk about poison ivy. Getting over a patch.

    I know. I'm sure after a couple months of this, I'll be getting way more obscure, but for now, we feast on the good stuff.

  10. "Cobbled stones and potholes whence,
    I stepped on them and dropped my pie!"

    hmmm... does not really make sense, is there even a word "whence" although it rhymes with "hence"...

    my 2 cents Bart!

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
