True Story So, I wanted to hang a birdfeeder the bear cannot get to I took some rope, tied a rock on the end of it, to throw over a high branch I kept missing, realizing I lack the athletic ability I had when I was young After many times trying, I threw it again and the rock flew off! So, I tied the rock tighter and threw it high again This time, the entire rope flew over the target branch, onto the ground! So I tied the other end to another tree and I threw it yet, again - ALAS - IT WORKED! – I lowered the rock, tied the birdfeeder on and pulled it up like a pulley Now, I have one out back and out front; the birds will be happy!

Looking at the last line of the poem: I am so happy that you have 'one (feeder) out back' -- instead of one back (yours) out!! Perseverance and Persistence, Gershon
