Two Metres…
Two metres.
~
Or six feet, six point seven four inches,
if you’re old like me.
~
That most important of distances,
the one we all quote.
~
Keeps us alive,
helps us stay safe.
~
It’s doing a sterling job,
despite little warning,
that its time had come.
~
Two metres,
has stepped up to the plate.
~
The least we can do,
is pick it out from a crowd.
To know it when we see it,
and say thank you so much.
~
Don’t mistake it for its friend,
similar though they may be.
One metre, ninety,
is not quite enough.
~
Just carry around a broom if any of your friends are having trouble remembering :0)
