Robert Frost Poem (for 05/18/01):
"That Road Less Traveled By…"
Two roads diverged in purple woods
I glanced down one, I glanced down both
One road led through nice neighborhoods
The other…
Had sides well-lined with angry hoods
Beating victims in the undergrowth.
I took the second path, that fateful day
I inwardly rejoiced, hooray!
For I would take the road less traveled by
And that would make all the difference.
Well, BEFORE I could even REACT, a
HORDE of VICIOUS ATTACK DOGS
Had LEAPT on me and was VICIOUSLY
ATTACKING ME like they’re supposed to.
Then, it was just a couple more INCHES
When a giant COW fell out of a tree and
Onto my HEAD which REALLY REALLY
HURT A WHOLE LOT. Then a FREIGHT
TRAIN came HURTLING DOWN THE PATH
And I ONLY BARELY was able to DODGE
OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME though
Unfortunately it was right about then that
THE ENTIRE U.S. ARMY CAME OUT OF
THE BUSHES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
PATH AND STARTED SHOOTING LIVE
AMUNITION AT ME!!! *UHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Anyway, by this time my official Tommy Hilfigir™ T-shirt
Was looking somewhat the worse for wear, so I
Made a quick stop in the friendly neighborhood
CLOTHING STORE. Well, the OWNER of the store
Seemed friendly enough (barring the DOUBLE MACHINE
GUNS GRAFTED into his SHOULDERS, he looked
To be quite a pleasant fellow). Anyway, I was about
To pay for my new pre-shredded PANTS ENSEAMBLE
When RALPH LAUREN ran SCREAMING into the room
And CUT OFF THE GUY’S FACIAL HAIR WITH A CHAINSAW
(Oh, well, he always said that he needed a haircut…)
Luckily, the guy didn’t seem to mind too much, so we
Just kinda stood around, talking about AL GORE’S
FAILED BID for the PRESIDENCY and why
PRESIDENT BUSH should be named the EMPORER
Of TEXAS once again until ANOTHER customer walked in.
He said his name was BILL GATES, and that he would
PAY US BOTH TEN BILLION DOLLARS APIECE
If we would tie his shoes. WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…
WE REFUSED OUTRIGHT. I mean, COME ON,
How likely is it REALLY that some mega-rich CORPORATE
EMPORER is going to come into a DESIGNER CLOTHING
STORE wearing SHOES? I mean, SHOES of all things.
Shoes are for CHICKENS, other ASSORTED FLIGHTLESS
BIRDS, and their BRETHEN.
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
Anyway, I left town THEN and THERE, continuing down
THE PATH that I CHOSE for MYSELF way back at
THE BEGINNING OF THIS NARRATION.
Well, it was not long before I came upon a group of
WALKING MUTANT HOUSEPLANTS from Mars.
Their leader, an OVERSIZED HIBISCUS with an
ATTITUDE came up to me and PUNCHED ME
SQUARE IN THE JAW. So I said, "Hey, there, sport,
How about those Penguins, huh?"
*GRIMACE AND INHALE THROUGH TEETH*
Things went downhill from there.
Well, a few hours and SEVERAL THOUSAND
SCREAMS later, I was FORCEFULLY EXPELLED
From their BRUTAL TORTURE METHODS
When a SUB-ATOMIC DEATHRAY came
HURTLING DOWN from the SKY ABOVE
And BLEW UP their minivan into TEN ZILLION
PIECES. Well, I was grateful that I had escaped
With my PANTS INTACT because one can’t always
Expect to escape with their PANTS INTACT
Now can they? But then, as if the LAW OF GRAVITY
Was OUT TO GET ME, the SPACE SHUTTLE crashed
Only a couple of feet away and I was caught in the blast.
(I didn’t mind TOO much, though, cause I got a cool
Sun tan and a new hairstyle to boot!)
Well, just about then a HUGE METEOR came HURTLING
DOWN from OUTER SPACE and PUT AN END to
President Bush’s TAX CUTS when EVERYTHING
EXPLODED and everybody DIED.
…Two roads diverged in the woods and I,
I took the road less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.
THE END
