Is it not amazing?
The meaning of words & the different phrasing?
There are fences to keep ‘baddies’ out
& then there are fences, recipients of stolen goods, you lout!
Sadly the original purpose of a fence
Was to delineate territory hence
It was more of a decorative nature& quaint
Just a few feet of the ground, coloured with bright paint
Over time a lack of respect
Has meant we have to erect
Not just a demarcation of our personal space
But high walls, an indictment of the human race
So ‘fence’ has done the complete cycle, a lack of trust
Fencing is now a solid form of self (de)fence, thieves to bust
The louts who will try your fence to scale
Steal your goods & offer them for sale!
