On the fence ignorance
You stand and mock me from afar today,
Ignoring truth disguised behind your fear,
Not knowing who you mock or why you stray.
Cold walls of ignorance grow in the way,
Dividing those who should be drawing near.
You stand and mock me from afar today.
A fragile mind that doubts will often sway,
Distrust prevails, obscured by shadowed sneer.
Not knowing who

On the Fence Seen
After the down pour
Of a heavy rainfall
The wet fence dries off
Now the wet spot shows
A wet spot shape heart
Done by Mother nature

The Story of Metal Mouth Tongue Stuck On the Fence
Extraordinarily winter jest
As a youth licking metal fence post constantly;
Treated for iron overload given Exjade;
Beyond what is ordinary or usual:
Exothermic, exothermic change So exothermically:
Exothermal my tongue burns from the frozen heat
Froze bite reaction releasing heat this is what I get for placing my tongue on the fence gate
Exultant
So exultant am I

On the Fence
a feathered bird lit down from the tree;
alas, it floated down like a leaf;
no known moving breath;
It just lit ON THE FENCE...
a running squirrel scarring from tree to tree;
his feet dances;
across limbs and branches;
his tail is waving in the wind;
as he to jumps ON THE FENCE...
O' life is well spent
As the squirrel and bird both

On the Fence With Mueller
On the Fence With Mueller
By Franklin Price
7/25/2019
Mueller a good example
Of straddling the fence
The report and his conclusions
Makes many of us wince
Says a lot while saying nothing
Pointing fingers all the while
The end result rediculous
Conclusions make both parties smile
Can spin results as they see fit
He opened up the door
Meaningful information
Left out and on the floor
Testifying in the

On the Fence Burden Deleted--
Something bout to happen, I'm on the fence;
Actions and behaviours, I'm on the fence;
Deleted
Somewhere fathoms down crosses;
Burden
Worlds bout' to burn, someone push the button;
Nukes of mass destruction;
Denominational followers;
Christians some, sinners some;
Worshipping Anti-Christ;
My advise, deleted;
People watch those "Tweeted"
Whom do you trust, true Jesus
We need ya!
I'm on the fence;
fathoms down crosses;
Burden
I'm on the fence;
Deleted

Sitting On the Fence At Twilight
Sitting on the Fence at Twilight
When the sun waved good-bye in the afternoon,
I’d say hello to the smiling Man in the Moon.
Perching on our gray concrete fence,
I’d swing my brown legs to a happy cadence.
From my solid fortress, I could see
a daily circus of human activity.
On a single bicycle rode the Fabros, a family

On the Fence
It would be wonderful if it were true
Battling preposterous pros and cons
Tormenting entwining glances
How much longer can this go on
Battling preposterous pros and cons
If only you were older or I younger
How much longer can this go on
They say age shouldn’t matter
If only you were older or I younger
Tormenting entwining glances
They say age shouldn’t matter

Sitting On the Fence
You should see my fence
It reaches up to my knees
And so am sure you are wondering why i have to sit on it
Like i should just choose the side i want to be
The good or the bad
It's that easy
Or so it seems
Am definitely not evil
That much i know about myself
Am good, i wear it well
Just

Sitting On the Fence
I was sitting on the fence
When you were passing
I thought I could get to you
When you were smiling
But it seems you are far away
From my love
I was charmed by your moves
As you were walking
I thought I could feel the love
In you
But as you walked and passed me
My world became empty
I was sitting on the fence
Watching

Still On the Fence
We say our past is in our past
but when it comes to us it never really is
Doubt destroys faith
when you don't want to trust the happiness
we're both guilty of that
I still look at you in amazement
of how I got this far
To be able to feel so comfortable
and so safe
To be able to look at

The Cat On the Fence
There once was a cat who hadn't much sense.
He liked to sit, every night, on a neighborhood fence
And sing, at the top of his not so sweet voice,
A medley of cat songs of his personal choice.
