A Repudiation of the Soulless Metric System
Medicine is injected by the litre
But beer is enjoyed by the happy pint
Forced marches are by the kilometre
But ambling by the mile I fall behint
Napoleon invented the millimetre
The deci, the centi, and alas, poor milli
And used them to measure his poor (self)
As Josephine said (but she was silly)
Oh, let us keep the quart, the pound, the mile
Always elegant, thus always in style
