Take The Bus, Bob

a literary in-joke, a parody of Robert Frost`s The Road Not Taken... I hope you all have a sense of fun...

Two roads emerged in poetic mood

So standing here in pensive truss

Could walk down both, or run right back

Or even take another track

But I think it´s best to take the bus...

Frost would have liked this..but he would have asked "what's a bus?"

brought a smile...

Yes, I enjoyed your poem. The ending made me smile so I did get the sense of fun!

Ha! But you know, when you take the bus you're not in control of the destination...just a thought ;-) Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It gave me a right chuckle.

i like your humour, my first smile of the morning..thank you for sharing the quandary of your "pensive truss"

The road less travelled is so because one particular bus, that seems to be going to the same place only via a different route, was the first to show up, and we never know whether the one we wanted originally ever did turn up, and why the bus we did take has still to get to its promised terminus..

Ha .. I never liked the bus ..
To hard to get up in
I am tall, and could manage the steps
But then, there are the voices
And I might forget how to listen
Alone seems a good place to create
But then, what would be our inspiration

Kinda fun .. Jazz :)

A very interesting write on poetic mood...
I had fun reading it.

[David Scott]

Unthinkable that most individuals would say they want to "travel the road less trodden"; yet when opportunity presents, the vast majority get on the bus and let someone else drive them around with everyone else...
Funny, yes. Also a sad truth.
