"The Goats of Christmas Past"

The story of my life in one poem and one picture ..

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

"The Road Not Taken"

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

There once was a jurist from Yale .. (Limerick)

Damn, my house smells GOOD right now!

Smoked sausage links from Williams' Store in Haralson, Georgia (Jimmy Carter buys sausage there, too)

Callaway Gardens stone ground grits with parmesan cheese and Tuscan seasoning

Collard greens in chicken broth with Benton smoked bacon

Corn bread

Jay Gatsby vs. Owen Meany

Trump and Kavanaugh are F. Scott Fitzgerald's profligate Gatsby. We are Meany, the smallish Everyman of John Irving's imagination. Or, at least, I am.

That is where we are now. What other literary comparisons might there be?
