One road I must travel
I can not travel two.
One destiny before me
Only one that I pursue.
One dream that encompasses all
One thrill ride-one chance to stand tall.
One candle to see me through the dark night.
One stream of water to paddle my canoe aright.
Give me two roads, yes? but I may only do one.
As much as we'd like the two-for doesn't exist.
It's just a wretched thing to make us feel bliss.
One really can't have the cake and eat it too, undo-able.
The road unchosen will forever remain so
So one should choose ever wisely; considering
Nothing should be so outstanding as to make you miss-choose.
For if in your choice you disavow the right road in favor of the wrong.
Your goose is cooked, your day is done, you're out of luck, no fun.
You're loosing ground and won't be found, and that's a down and no pun.
Di-aster has struck, you're in a rut, you'll rue the day, then have all hell to pay.
Choose your path right, fight the worthwhile fight, and remember to have a nice day.
