Love Affair

The Love Affair 
The road that leads to a smallish agricultural flatland has
two walls. One wall was built by a slob, just throwing 
one stone on top of another. 

The other wall was built by a craftsman where stones 
fitted and he had used decorative and white painted
 cement between them.

Every Sunday the meticulous man walks to his wall 
and find great satisfaction to see his work again and
wishes the slob would rebuild his wall.

Every Sunday the layabout goes for a walk to, 
first to the bar for a few beers with his mates; he walks
 to the good man’s house and have sex with his wife.

Wow! Loved the last line -- what a punch and brought your poem together giving it one more final punch -- warning -- pay attention to what's important -- relationships, people . . . not things. Great job and a good reminder.
