Woodwinds

" (Two roads) diverged in a yellow wood and I choose the
            the one less traveled by and that has made 
                              all the difference. "
                                             Quote by - Robert Frost 

I met a drummer in those woods
He sold me all his ill-used goods
He said that I should seek real change
Shake up the pieces – rearrange

The stride and gait of my pursuit
That whistling sound of whining flute
A draping flag they won’t salute
That sound well bent could be a hoot

Reshaped, reformed his useless trash
Now glistens with the sun’s panache
That road I took “less travelled by”
Has often made this “grown man” cry

And yet I still possess that urge
To down that road again diverge
