I have a gnawing feeling
as I sit atop the fence
I hear my old friends calling
but my heart says, Go not thence.
It is indeed a nagging pain
choosing between two sides
Should I with my friends remain
or with my heart abide?
A wicked situation I face
as a fence-sitter, I fear
If only there's a simple way
to make fence disappear.
So on the fence I'll gnaw each day
chewing with all my might.
When at last it goes away
there will be no more sides.
