STILES ARE THE STYLE

STILES ARE THE STYLE

Roger A. Davis

A stile is an access way over a boundary
Such as steps over a fence or a wall
The cool part, no gate to close, that’s the key
Not having to put the horse in a stall

We had one on our ranch in Barber County
Going to the adjoining ranch house made it handy
No railing, though, made it a little tense
Yet a small price to pay not having to open a barbwire fence

Cattle gates of oil pipe construction are sweet
The animals stay put because they worry about their feet
Yet, we can drive over and no gate to fight
Just breeze on in as we sit tight

Are you getting the idea, I like things that make access easy?
Elevators and escalators, anything that doesn’t leave you wheezy
Turnstiles and automatic doors
Standard at department stores

If you are out and about and a little old lady needs an assist
Or a child, or a pet, etc., don’t resist
Just remember how good it feels to be cared for
Even a cool cup of water given in His name is amour
