- A distance for driving is stated in "miles"
- But our petrol is purchased in "litres".
- Economy's measured in "M-P-G"
- But the width of the car is in "metres".
- The heights of all people are "inches" and "feet"
- And then "stones" are still used for their weights
- The distance from Greenwich is "minutes" and "secs",
- While a "yonk" is the time between dates.
- A "Starmer" will measure a shift to the right
- And faux outrage is measured in "Dorries".
- "Prince Andrew" is used as a yardstick of shame,
- While the unit of lies is a "Boris".____
