How Many Roads? (part 2 of 3)

How many roads must a man walk down
If a man must walk down roads?
Yes, and how much wood could a woodchuck chuck
And the building still meet code?
And how much load can the bear beams bear
Before they just implode?

The flanges are bent, not going to the rim.
The flanges are going in the bin.

Yes, and how many chickens must cross those roads
Just to get to the other side?
And does it depend on the length of the road?
Or is it about how wide?
Yes, and how many chickens, woodchucks, and men
Are on the road to St. Ives?

The dancers I sent are going to the gym,
The dancers are going to the gym.

How Many Roads? (part 1 of 3)

How many roads must a man walk down
If a man must walk down roads?
Yes, and how much wood could a woodchuck chuck
And the building still meet code?
And how much load can the bear beams bear
Before they just implode?

The flanges are bent, not going to the rim.
The flanges are going in the bin.

Bob Dylan redux

ROSIE (counselor): Poetry Crisis Line, what is your emergency?
BOB DYLAN (caller): how many roads must a man walk down
ROSIE: I’m not sure. You may need to ask a roads scholar.
DYLAN: Before you can call him a man?
ROSIE: The isle of man? You can’t walk there on a road–it’s an island.

Poet’s answer an age-old question: Bob Dylan on why the chicken crossed the road

Happy 80th birthday to Bob Dylan!

How many roads must a chicken cross
Before you can call her a hen?
And what is the reason she crossed that road?
And what did she do then?
The eggs are, my friend, they’re rollin’ in the wind.
The eggs are, they’re rollin in the wind.
