Fences Needing Repair opus 184

5 September 2023 1700 Hours Behavior, Farming, Sexism
A friend called and said she was frustrated.
'My horse fences need repair and there is no one here.
All gone hunting!'

So, feeling folksy, I texted back--
'Thanks for the call.
Used to fix fences.
Could help, but too old now.
Don't hunt.
Hunting is a religious ritual for
Many male humans, at least around here.
A substitute for our pioneer 'John Wayne'.
Senseless in these days with
So many available cows for meat.
See you someday.    Me'.
