I submitted this to the New Yorker

Two roads diverge in a wood

And I, I took the one more traveled

Cause it had better lighting

And was cleaner.

And I was less likely to get assaulted and robbed becuase the better lighting would make it more likely that the potential assailant would be seen by a potential witness

And that the hypothetical witness would be better able to ID the hypothetical criminal because the hypothetical witness would be able to see his face better because of the better lighting.

And besides there is probably something cooler at the end of this road

Cause otherwise people would take the one less traveled more.

And if it was unkempt

Perhaps a neighborhood group or a kiwi lodge or an AFW Hall or convicted felons would do an adopt-a road-type of deal and make it cleaner.

Although there would be potentially fewer felons

Because I

I am taking the road more traveled.

  1. I am a great fan of the original poem, its meaning, and its author. I must say though, this is really funny. Didn't know you were into poetry = )
