All Purpose Fences

Written by eklastic

Fences make for good neighbours. Chatting over a fence is a time honoured pastime. It has the advantage that it keeps the opponents separate.

Fences can also have an important purpose. It can keep toads from being squashed by cars when they have the unsquashable urge to get to the pond were they were spawned. It makes them wait until they are collected and carried over the road.

The fence may be rusty but it is collecting new dummies from toddlers who want to give up an outgrown habit.

Fences can be overcome, sometimes only partially. It depends on the temptation on the other side.

Of course, there are always masters of the art.

    1. In years gone by you just had squashed toads for a couple of weeks in early spring on certain roads. Then the authorities put up Attention! Toads! sign. And then the little fences came. This particular one is the initiative of a biology teacher who does it every year with his classes.
