A Fork In the Road

A fork in the road
Forcing the weary old monk 
To then decline both...
And marvelling how his feet
Ignore imponderables.

Creative one. I enjoyed reading this and I know how that monk felt for fatigue is mostly my life now. Sara

Thanks, Sara. I really enjoyed working hard at this one...very pleased at the way it turned out. I too can sympathize about the inconvenience of fatigue...and I have to go out very soon to do my overtime before my night shift starts. Ah well...no peace for the wicked. Stay safe, Sara...and keep up the good work. My very best regards! :) john
