I read the answer in white. I never would have gotten it.

Here's my poem-a-day for tomorrow (I already did one for today), another riddle. I think it's particularly easy since it gives several more clues than you need to solve it. It may be two riddles with the same answer if I choose to break off the last two couplets into a separate riddle:


RIDDLE

Although my job is to divide,
the whole wide world is on my side.

Those who wish to cross a border
often wish that I were shorter.

But those who'd rather just stay put
might wish me taller by a foot.

I'm posted here, although it takes
an effort not to pull up stakes.

If not for me, a thief might stroll in
and all your stuff might well be stolen

and sold to the man who shares my name,
although our jobs are not the same.
