From The Old Line Fence by A. W. Bellaw

ZIG-ZAGGING it went
On the line of the farm,
And the trouble it caused
Was often quite warm,
The Old Line Fence.
It was changed every year
By decree of the court,
To which, when worn out,
Our sires would resort
With the Old Line Fence,
In hoeing their corn,
When the sun, too, was hot,
They surely would jaw.
Punch or claw, when they got
To the Old Line Fence.
In dividing the lands
It fulfilled no desires.
But answered quite well
In dividing our sires,
This Old Line Fence,
Though sometimes in this
It would happen to fail.
When, with top rail in hand,
One would flare up and scale
The Old Line Fence!
