Ode to the Fence

Today is the second anniversary
of the appearance of
the fence.

Two months ago today
they dropped off the fence
Nobody knew exactly why
there was great suspense

It hasn't been touched since
and sits there solitary
No movement or no purpose
The fence is now sedentary

It's stacked very neatly
and secured in its place
It isn't a big area
not taking up much space

It may be a piece of art
without a plaque or sign
This temporary fencing
looks quite divine

I hope it stays forever
outside my office window
If someone takes it away
I will feel very low

So mark this special moment
all you ladies and gents
A two month celebration
My Ode to the Fence

Ode to the fence was so heartfelt, it brought a tiny glimmering tear to my eye...

I'm thinking up "ode to my Panera sandwich". chicken salad. it rawwwks my socks.

I'm hungry, having worked 11 hours today, and brought home lotsa bacon. Yay.

I think they are fencing something OUT, not in. Maybe it's a meter of some sort, and they are trying to keep hoodlums from messing with it.

I love you Bob. You know why? Because you brought Karen into my life.

Okay, I also love you because you're you. God, you're so needy.
