THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

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 passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that moarning 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 yellow wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Green Eggs and Hamlet

To be or not to be.
That is the question i ask of me.
This sullied life, it makes me shudder.
My uncle's seeing dear sweet mother.
Would I, Could I take my life?
Could I, Should I end this strife?
Should I jump out of a plane?
Or through myself before a train?
Should I from a cliff just leap?
Could I put myself to sleep?
Shoot myself or take some poisen?
Maybe try self-immolation?
To shuffle off this mortal coil,
I could stab myself with a fencing foil.
Slash my wrists while in a bath?
Would it end my angst and wrath?
To sleep, to dream, now theres a rub.
I could drop a toaster in my tub.
Would all be glad if I were dead?
Perhaps I could kill them insted?
This line of thought takes consideration.
For I am king of procrastination.

I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

I'm nobody! who are you?
Are you --nobody-- too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise -- you know!

How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!
How public -- like a frog --
To tell one's name -- the livelong June --
To an admiring Bog!

by Emily Dickinson

Green Eggs & Ham Parody

I said I hate green eggs and ham.
I said I hate then, damn you Sam!

If you should bring them on my plane,
Don't plan to see your home again,.
If you approach me on a boat,
I'll shove that ham right down your throat!

Get it through your skull so thick--
Green eggs and ham, they make me sick!

The ham looks like green doggie duke;
Those slimy eggs just make me puke.
If I ate them, i would vomit
Projectiles just like Halley's comet!

Now remove them from my face
Before I have to trash this place

Should you serve them with a fox
Or inside a cardbord box,
I'd burn the box, all flaming red
And eat the rosted fox insted.

I know i've said this once before,
I'm sure you think I'm quite a bore.
But I can't stand green eggs and ham
I mean I hate them, damn you sam!

What is with you Sam, I croaked.
(I'm all worked up, my voice is choked.)
You think I want this crap, I coughed?
Do you have ties with mocrosoft?

Have you bundled IE in your ham?
So Reno will ignor it Sam?
Well, I won't eat it anyway,
Not for a million bucks a day!

Now leave at once, you are dismissed.
Damn you Sam, I'm getting pissed!
I told you how I hate that crap.
Don't make me give your face a slap.

Shut up Sam, don't make me smack you.
The great Cornholio will attack you.
Green eggs and ham by any rites
We have to say, Huh-huh, this bites!
