THE MEASURE OF A MAN
by Paul Curtis Bimbette and Peaches were standing by a flagpole, Looking up at it in a rather puzzled way When they were asked what the were doing By a pleasant young man passing their way "We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole But we don't have a ladder" Said Bimbette with a frown The young man took a spanner from his pocket Loosened a few bolts and laid the flagpole down He then took a tape measure from his other pocket, Took a few measurements, and said it was 18 feet Then he returned the flagpole to its previous condition And strode off confidently down the street Bimbette said "How like a man!! give me strength, You ask him for the height and he gives you the length I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
