RULER

Started work at the bricklaying.

Okay thought i what do i need

Have to ask, hadn't a clue what 

to do, anyway said to this guy 

where do I get a ruler, already 

had an old plum rulel, okay today

that's known as a spirit level, but 

ah heck were was i. oh yeah looking 

this ruler. Finally got one in a pawn 

shop on the old lodge road. Little did 

I think that the ruler would become as 

obsolete as the road I bought it on.

Feet and inches on both sides, of the 

ruler that is. 1962 hadn't heard of metric

perhaps decimals in school. Anyway the

dopey ruler was superseded by, wait for it

a blooming tape measure with only metric on it.

Most important tool in the game the ruler.

heck yes the tape as well. First thing you learn 

is always measure down, when you're building up.

Had to finally admit the tape was handier, but

still the aul rule remains at home to this day.

 both it and myself are obsolete, though

the intervening years between myself, 

ruler and tape, are times to be cherished.
