The Critics not Taken

 

Everyone says we’re reading the poem all wrong -

“The Road not Taken” is about Edward Thomas

Joining the army or Robert Frost not

And why is one road less traveled and is that good?

 

Is it bad? And why is the wood yellow?

Who is prolonging the decision, and why?

Maybe the road not taken should be

Quoting it at every high school graduation

 

We’ve heard it so often that we want to say:

Just make a decision then go away!
