Notice of land ownership
Pinned up like a warning slip
The highway extends, don’t pretend
To the boundary that won’t sit still

Existing line, but don’t rely
It’s offset southeast, don’t ask why
Two metres off, that’s close enough
To make you wrong and them comply

OFFSET! TWO METRES OUT!
That’s what all this fuss is about
NOT THE LINE BUT DRAWN THAT WAY
Say it loud so no one strays

OFFSET! DON’T YOU SEE?
You’re trespassing technically
Fence says one thing, law says two
Guess which one they’ll use on you

This fence is not the boundary
But it stands there visually
Erected neat, polite deceit
A wooden line of fakery

Owned by council, don’t dispute
They built it just to keep things mute
Avoid disturbance, keep it clean
Don’t mess with what you’ve never seen

OFFSET! TWO METRES OUT!
Measured doubt in legal clout
NOT THE LINE BUT STAY AWAY
Paper wins at end of day

OFFSET! DON’T ARGUE
Maps will always outrank you
Fence is lying, sign is true
Welcome to the boundary zoo

South east whispers in your ear
“Step too far and you’re not clear”
Invisible lines, bureaucratic spine
You’re guilty by design

A fence that lies, a sign that drones
A kingdom built on shifting zones
You thought you knew where you could stand
Turns out you don’t own land

Leicestershire says play it straight
Or find yourself outside the gate
Two metres might as well be miles
When law enforcement starts to smile
