The Road Not Taken: 11th of December

11th of December

Another Christmas song today; "The Little Drummer Boy". I know there are many who have recorded this song, but to me there is only one version and one video that really counts, the one with David Bowie and Bing Crosby. A happy memory from my childhood when we did not have MTV and music videos available 24/7.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

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.
