Three boys with bait and fishing lines
Watch corks intently. One opines,
“I ‘ve got a whale–look out, you guys!”
“I’ve hooked a box,” the second cries.
The third, “I ‘ve caught a rubber boot!”
(Each lad has snagged the self-same root.)
I have my yardstick; so have you:
We measure with our point of view.
