The Project Not Taken - Humorous Poem by M. Asim Nehal

The Project Not Taken - Humorous

Rating: 5.0


My friend got so much inspired by Robert Frost
That he decided to take the tough project
From the available two projects
He looked at both the project carefully
And did his homework on CPM and PERT

Then he decided to take the other one, as a challenge,
The CPM had many twists and turns
He put emphasis on the trade-off between
The cost of the project and its overall completion time
Though he got pissed off and started to doubt

But again, after reading "The Road Not taken"
He decided to pursue with it till the very end
Though starting from one it appeared, like as SEA
The never ending waves hit him hard
The lighthouse stopped giving any signals

Finally, when he learned that he is heading nowhere
He started to write about the project
Two projects came to my table, and I,
I took the one which was tough, very tough
And that has made all the difference,
I lost my job and now I write poems.
