“GOOD FENCES = LOUSY NEIGHBORS”
Reveal to me thy fate, oh, neighbor Smith, Whose domicile is that
adjoining mine.
'Twas you, old friend, I shared  expenses with, To build ourselves a
handsome bound'ry line. With loving care we placed each stone and sought
The beauty of our shelters to enhance,
And thereby weld our comradeship (we thought), Not reckoning on  unkind
circumstance.
A fence, while lending beauty 'til it rots, Has  little use in
friendship, so I fear. We placed that charming wall between our  lots,
And haven't seen each other for a year!
