Fence Me In

Good fences make good neighbors, it is said. Do they really? Are the fences themselves good neighbors? Do they cause your neighbors to be good?

Or is the phrase rendered poorly? Consider this variation:

Good fences, good neighbors make.

This too could be read that fences cause the neighbors to be good, but it does more. It equates the neighbors themselves and the fences. A good neighbor is a good fence.
