Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (a MAGA response)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (a MAGA response)

By Dustin Mohagen

Whose woods are these? They’re mine, snowflake.

And such large woods, big price I’ll take.

These woods I got from my old man;

He claimed them with a wooden stake.

Your queer horse can keep on going.

It’s quite late and now it’s snowing.

Be a shame if it came up lame,

Town so far and darkness growing.

Eating horses in Arlington…

The guvmint wants to take your guns…

(He had to pause to catch his breath)

They’re making daughters out of sons.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have bank accounts to keep,

And untold profits yet to reap,

And untold profits yet to reap.
