It looks like an otter pop,
long slim and pink.
It turns to a bracelet,
in just one blink.
It has short dashes
like it’s the new fashion.
Sixteenth, eighths and quarters
building up to an inch.
It helps me to measure
instead of using a pinch.
Kids use it for school,
teachers use it to rule.
Mom’s use it for growth spurts
upon the wall. Charting the
inches that make their kids tall.
So many uses the ruler has
if I didn’t know better I’d
Say it played jazz.
