The Picket Fence

The picket fence wore
    
     no fresh paint ... but on the ground
  
           an old apple core

It'll be a race: Will the fence dry before the apple seeds become apple trees? It'll be either a photo finish or an oil painting...

The fence can be repainted, but the fruit of that apple will not be replenished. ( I think!!!) A very thought-provoking Haiku, Gershon ( I am still thinking ), lol!

Cogito, ergo sum -- 'I think, therefore, I am,' said the Roman wise men. Personally, I'd leave out the 'therefore.' lol. On a more serious note, I'd amend the saying to 'I thank, therefore I am. Thanks, Shirley! :) gw
