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.
