Custom Fences



Custom Fences, Custom built
We aim to please
To meet your specifications
And put your mind at ease
 
No matter the value
Of what you want to hide
Don’t worry no one can see clearly
Those precious things inside
 
If walls are not enough
We got chains and locks too
With codes that can’t be broken
By anyone but you.
 
We can protect your loved ones
Your goods, and ease your fear
Of letting anyone in
To challenge those things you hold so dear
 
Just one warranty we advise
On keeping this guarantee
Don’t climb over the wall
Too high that you can see
 
Over your own faulty towers
Into your neighbor’s messy spaces
You might begin to question
Your own stable basis

Guinevere Thompson

A poet I am not, but surely appreciate the spoken word. By day I'm a legal compliance manager, not too exciting. On my nights and holidays I enjoy great writing and am a member of two book clubs. This is my first ever poem and was inspired by current events, great lyrical writing, and the sign I saw when biking in NC. more…
