On a road less travelled, I once found my way,
but little did I know it led me astray.
Oh, how I thought I was being adventurous and unique,
but instead, I ended up with a major critique.
The sign was obscure and blend into the scenery,
And I was too excited to notice it clearly.
Off I went, full of gusto and cheer,
not a clue that failure was creeping near.
The road quickly twisted, turned, and wound,
I realized then that I was utterly disoriented and confound.
No GPS could save me from this mess,
I had unwittingly stumbled into a bizarre wilderness.
The road grew narrower, filled with potholes and bumps,
as I drove along, I couldn't help but feel like a chump.
The map in my hand seemed to mock and sneer,
It was clear that I was on the road of wrong steer.
Suddenly, I spotted a sign just up ahead,
but I couldn't make out what it exactly said.
I squinted my eyes, trying to read the letters,
And there it was, 'Welcome you foolish to the land of betters! '
I laughed, realizing the irony of my fate,
I had taken a road that spelled nothing but mistake.
But hey, life's a journey, and laughter is a must,
even when you find yourself in the land of absurd gust.
The lesson I learned I share for those who dare,
to venture down roads that might lead to despair.
Don't forget your map or your common sense,
or else you'll end up in foolish, hilarious consequence.
Ha ha ha... Never embark on a journey without adequate preparation, I mean the intended location, route guide, and other intricate particulars, especially when you choose the unconventional path or unexplored route. I am aware that with GPS technology, the situation has changed.

'Both of these spellings are acceptable and exchangeable in English language but their usage differ according to the part of the world they are spoken in.' I'd say 'differs'. This is about 'travelled' vs.'traveled'. : )
I shall not spend TOO LONG here. I give 4 stars. Some of this WAS humorous; some might say parts are 'sad'. Some words 'need' tweaking, but overall this poem ain't 'bad'. : ) bri
