Made to Measure

There once was a hero named Pip


Who rode into town on a finger tip.


Listen, all you Ladies and Gents

I’ll rule the world inch by inch

Just as long as I don’t lose my grip!


Carol B. says she released Ms. Teeny McTiniest back into the wild after this photo.

    “What’s a cubit?”
    Am I the only one thinking of of God’s conversation with Noah, as told by Bill Cosby?

    Earworm, earworm,
    Taking up my mental space,
    Sentimental, catchy tune,
    You’ll probably go far.

    Wow, now that’s a “not-even-an-inch” worm!

    I believe this would be more like a millimeter worm

    I’m in the Mod Lounge! apparently “mililmeter” is a bad word in this country. Luckily, someone left some red velvet cake and tea for me. Thank you.

    Centimeter Worm?

  11. Alan says:

    A cubit is the distance from the point of one’s elbow to the tip of one’s longest finger. IN the ancient world, this was a very logical measure for a carpenter, boatbuilder, or architect to use. Of course, every carpenter, boatbuilder and architect’s cubit was a little bit different. Historians and classicists generally just call it 18 inches.

    And they said my liberal arts degree was worthless.
