The Road Not Taken
~Robert Frost~

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.

Deep Traffic


(sung to the tune of "Deep River")

Deep traffic, my home is a-cross five lanes


Deep traffic, Lord... I want to cross over the great highway.


Oh, don't you want to cross to the other side


Of that old stretch? But no one'll move aside.


Deep traffic, my him is a-cross five lanes


Deep traffic, Lord... I want to cross over the great highway.

I thought of this coming home from driver's ed this morning. It's short, but I rather like it.
