And sorry I could not travel both} - "You know how I get detailed stats on your computer usage and search history?"
{And be one traveler, long I stood} - "No. You do that?!"
{And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;} - "I find a lot of good sites this way."
{Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,} - "Anyway. Lately, you're spending a lot of time on r/ReefTanks. Why?"
{Because it was grassy and wanted wear;} - "I dunno. Fish, I guess? I like the pretty fish...?"
{Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,} - "You should be looking at way cooler stuff."
{And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.} - "Nobody's even fucking these fish."
{Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.} - "Sorry...?"
{I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,} - "Man, I didn't sunder your privacy to look at a bunch of chaste-ass fish."
{And that has made all the difference.} - "*SLAP*"
tl;dr: Very good writing in this comic.

Ever heard the adage “don’t compare apples to oranges?” We all know what it means: comparing the two doesn’t make practical sense because they are very different.
But have you ever stopped and thought about how you might literally compare apples and oranges? Let’s make a quick list.
Both are fruits. Both have seeds. You can make juice with either. You can get both at the grocery store. Both contain vitamin C.
Differences; Apples have a thin exterior; oranges do not. Oranges already come in slices; apples do not. Oranges are typically sourer than apples. They are different colors. Apples have more varieties.
In a similar way, you can compare poems that don’t immediately seem to have anything in common.
prosody
[ˈpräsədē]
the patterns of rhythm and sound used in poetry.
(# of syllables)
"You(1) know(2) how(3) I(4) get(5) detailed(7) stats(8) on(9) your(10)
computer(3) usage(5) and(6) search(7) history(10)?"
"Two(1) roads(2) diverged(4) in(5) a(6) yellow(8) wood(9),
And(1) sorry(3) I(4) could(5) not(6) travel(8) both(9)"
A wise man needs only a blade of grass.(10)
A fool, then, would need an entire garden.(10)
Nobody’s even fucking these apples and oranges. Is this still Penny Arcade?
You gotta put some long necks on them.
So you're more of a pear fancier...
