The Woven Perimeter

I wiggled out from under the picnic table and scooted along the playground's outer rim to inspect the boundaries. Standing tall between the mulch and the open road was a thick chain-link fence, overgrown at the base with wild morning-glory vines! Reaching the very first diamond gap felt like an unmistakable challenge. I shoved aside a dry maple twig, kicked my tail fin with wild energy, and hauled my plush belly onto a sturdy wooden edging timber. Wedging my blunt snout straight into the bottom metal mesh, I peered right out at the distant sidewalk. Every single inch of this perimeter is safely secured under my watch!
