Units of Measure

I once composed a wholly metric verse
to measure length, and that within an inch,
and while the subject matter was perverse,
and might induce a curse or worse, a flinch,
it was, no doubt, a valiant attempt,
and worthy of admiring reposts.
That, rather than the venomous contempt
which I received from the ungracious hosts
of said sad competition. Pound for pound,
my measure, although decimal and metric,
was perfectly reliable and sound
and had no biologic or obstetric
or other obscene purpose except size.
And all for those who'd wish to feast their eyes.
