Two paths diverged in a CFG, and sorry I could not follow both and be one analysis, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it iterated a tree;
Then took the other, which traversed lists, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it seemed buggy, the code amiss; Though as for that the analysis Treated them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In blocks not yet in local cache. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how path searches delay, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh At a conference, ages hence: Two paths diverged in a graph, and I- I took the one less followed by, And that has made all the difference.

Two paths diverged in a CFG,
and sorry I could not follow both
and be one analysis, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it iterated a tree;
Then took the other, which traversed lists,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it seemed buggy, the code amiss;
Though as for that the analysis
Treated them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In blocks not yet in local cache.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how path searches delay,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
At a conference, ages hence:
Two paths diverged in a graph, and I-
I took the one less followed by,
And that has made all the difference.
