Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Fence

'Round the residence I first came

As made of wood so as to keep out

Livestock from gardens was the aim,

But then needed strengthened no doubt.

So the wood was replaced by stone.

Slowly iron and steel bars were set.

I messaged a no trespass zone,

My purpose to repel a threat.

Then guards, both human and dog sort

Constantly patrolled around me.

I was high tech sensored to thwart

Any over, under, through be.

Meant to deter any nonsense,

I'm the "keep'em out" White House fence.
