Inspired by and directly stolen from Robert Frost
Two Canada Gooses diverged in a dorm closet,
And sorry I could not wear both
And be doubly-coated, long I stood
And looked at one as long as I could
To where it folded in the cupboard;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was longer and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the outfits there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In shades every New Yorker had worn—black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how trend leads to trend,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Sometime ages and ages hence:
Two Canada Gooses diverged in my wood closet, and I—
I took the one less worn by,
And that fit has made all the difference.
