Flags, ropes, roofs - oh my!
This is a riddle of two flags on flagpoles on houseroofs
You have a rope to assist you
You are only human so there're no poofs
You can't tie the rope on flage poles and pull across
Because then you would surely fall
You can't reach across roofs
Because you're just not that tall
You can't swing on the rope
Because then you will meet your death
You can't be on the ground
Because then you will be in enemy's grasp
If you can make a road
Then you'll cross without a yelp
Mind that glue gun in your pocket
Because it will come to help
Oh and with infinite amount of rope
How would you get to the other flag?
But don't worry if you have no hope
Because it won't cost you an arm nor leg
Try this, if you can, without your glue.

Provided with an infinite amount of rope, I can fill in the gap between the houses with rope, and casually walk across the newly created rope bridge.
(no glue required)

Cam ...my thoughts exactly ...
The flagpoles are on 2 houses, on a terraced row... no gap between them.
Or you could use the flag-pole to create the bridge? Flag poles usually have a pivoted break at the bottom to allow the flag pole to be lowered. I knew Reveille at 5.30a.m. would come in useful one day....
