THE MEASURE OF A MAN

 

Bimbette and Peaches were standing by a flagpole,

Looking up at it in a rather puzzled way

When they were asked what they 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
