An Idiom in the Flesh

You’ll never believe this,

But truth you are owed –

This morning I noticed

A fork in the road.

 

Well, technically, just

The top half of a fork,

Yet still a strange sight

On a street in New York.

 

‘Twas made of white plastic,

Quite easy to break it.

Since I couldn’t use it,

I chose not to take it.
