The Fence

The sun is high More joy is nigh I cannot lie Why should I sigh But the neighbor’s fence We are friends We see each other’s ends We have the same trends We each help when the other bends Why is there a fence We will throw each other the ball So why is there a wall We help each other when there is a call It isn’t very small Why is there this large fence They trust me They speak to me They joke with me They laugh with me So why is there this fence Maybe it is spite Maybe from last night Maybe they wish to show might Maybe that is why it is sixty two inches in height That could be the purpose of this fence They only moved in a month ago This could just be how it goes This might be just for show This could be, I suppose The other neighbors have a fence But they joke with me We have fun you see Maybe that is the key They don’t want the neighbors jealous of we But even the neighbors have a fence What if it is I What if they think I spy What if they think I lie Now I wish to cry No, none of these answer for the fence So why is there a fence It could be for suspense They could wish to bind us together with this fence What is up with this fence Why, why is there a fence I have found a purpose to this I can’t believe it was this that I miss I asked them where I was amiss They spoke without a list They just wanted to keep in their dog with a simple fence
