The Road N0t Taken

THE SHRINK · Jun 2, 2005

<TABLE cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=0 width=601 align=center bgColor=#ffffff border=0><TBODY><TR><TD align=middle>This poem is by favorite in the whole wide world. Robert Frost had a choice to make at a crucial point of his life. He could have been a Doctor or a Poet. This is actually a poem about his life and predicament. We all know the outcome. Truer words could never have been spoken here and I am wondering if any of you can relate?...

Corky,
Read between the lines ...

If you had choosen the path of winning instead of worthlessness that would have made ALL the difference.

Just because you can't see how it applies, I suspect others can...:smoker2:

THE SHRINK

OMNIVOROUS FROG · Jun 3, 2005

The SHRINK, with what I do, and nonconformist that I am, I have to travel the less traveled path. With naysayers always spewing negative cliches. Your luck will run out. Gambling fool. Soon to be broke. It has always been my guiding light, to be different. Not follow the herd. Easily a high influence in my life.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:
