What might have happened if:
Two roads hadn’t diverged in a yellow wood?
They all lived unhappily ever after?
Jack hadn’t been nimble?
Jack hadn’t been quick?
Jack hadn’t jumped over the candlestick?
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was black as pitch?
Rapunzel hadn’t let down her hair?
Peter Piper quaffed a quart of quintessential quince?
A body didn’t meet a body comin’ thro’ the rye?
These are just a few of life’s great unanswerable questions.
I’m sure you can think of others.
But we do know the answer to that last question, don’t we? If a body didn’t meet a body comin’ thro’ the rye, we would not be able to hear Alma Gluck singing “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye” on this 1914 recording (1:44).
Indeed, we might not be here ourselves.
And if you just can’t get enough of Alma Gluck, here she is on a 1915 recording, accompanied by violinist Efram Zimbalist, singing “Old Folks At Home (Swanee River)” (3:14).
I just can’t imagine someone not getting enough of Alma Gluck.
We now return you to the Olympic event in progress.
I suppose the obvious one is; what if the Olympics had adopted the motto 'Tardius, Inferior, Infirmior'?
