Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over

Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes,...

Spanning the continents, changing its...

Was born almost eighty-two years ago
No bits, no bytes, just a neighbourly hello

Back when “friends” called you a schmoe...

Wiggzy Wormzy
Burrowing
Saying neighbourly hies
As he writhed
From top to bottom
Of the veggie garden

Wiggzy Wormzy
Waving
Sharing friendly hi-fives
As he cantilevered
From leaf to roof
Of the veggie garden...
