The lest-traveled road is undense
Its guideposts are fewer to sense
One way ---> Ted Kaczynski
Another ---> I. Stravinski
The traveler makes all of the difference

Frost...with the two paths diverging in the wood?

Same here. I'd do one on my all time favourite of his, but the limerick would be longer than the original poem. Laughing

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in rain.
Though either way seems rather dire,
I'd rather drown than be on fire.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain;
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely days when I could not find a friend;
But I never thought that I'd ever post here again.

That the guy you mean, Kara? James Taylor Frost?

Thassa one, Debacle. Old J.T. Frost.

If that's a limerick, I'm a fried green tomato

If you was a fried green tomato, you'd be more like Bayou le Batre than Limerick.

Or Connemara, neither.

The weather agreed to take action.
The flowers the focus of traction.
They were pushed in the mud
But retained coursing blood.
The flowers and I form a faction.
