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 the 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 divered in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

"Some, flukes for life's twists and turns; others, squalls for cares and concerns. A few reserved for when down and out; the dancing say use during times of doubt."

can't you stay focused?
hurry up!
how long do we have to wait?
you're working too slow.
you're going too fast!
go on to the next one.
don't stop yet!
they'll be here in a minute.
isn't that due tomorrow?
why did you wait 'till the last second?
aren't you finished yet?
just get it done.
not until you're through!
just grab something.

p.s. speaking of "playful," over the last five years a few critics (very few) have claimed that this page is not serious enough (they object to the cartoons, which find fun in almost everything). a few have claimed that the information is too serious, and too complicated in its vocabulary and grammar for anyone except a college graduate. a couple of readers, however, have written me with a different view.
