A Sunny Bit of Frost

Out on my own

Traveling round,


No familiar faces

No familiar sounds.


I’m rambling there

And now over here,


No idea where I am

This is most austere.


The people around me

Are a wretched bunch,


That one in the leather

I think he stole my lunch.


My stomach growls

My feet are dead,


I wish I had somewhere

To lay my poor head.


But reading a poem

Makes me feel grand,


What traveling is for

I now understand.


I may be homesick

I may feel real lost,


But here at the road-fork

I’ll be Robert Frost,


Soon at my home

I’ll contentedly sigh,


For I, being brave,

Took the road less traveled by.
