You left your fence open
and your dogs went out to play
then the grass got tall
and the weeds ate up
all the flowers
so you couldn’t see
the vermin
that crept on ground
fence got all rusty
and the door was bent
latch just didn’t work right
so when you got around
to closin’ it up tight
didn’t work no more
anyone could come in
any damn thing
and what were you gonna do?
seein’ a yard like that
they’d think
who’d give a shit if
i went on in?
