That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 17, 2014

Splinters!

There are holes in that argument, much like the old medieval sock story.

Yesterday, at two minutes to seven in the evening – by the door; now one minute later over (or through) the fence.

Pyramus and Thisbe had a stone wall; that didn’t help, either.

He was known as The Postman.

In the spring a young man’s fences lightly turn to thoughts of love.

Jack and Jill, up on the hill.

unless there is a hole in the fence….

I guess poor fences make even better neighbours.
