I guess it's true what the New York Times said, "Poetry is Dead"
Protractor
The Ruler measured, slapped,
defined and ruled over
all his subjects and kingdom.
He paced his domain in measured steps
always doling out what to him was
fair and impartial judgment.
Still there was discontent in the land.
There were those who mumbled
under their breath, ‘Yardstick!’
Some of those gathered
in a conclave,
began a movement.
They focused on an emergent contender
in hopes of replacing the Ruler with one
who had a better angle on the situation.
