Ruler

Wooden, metal, or plastic

It is your choice to measure their worth.

Not to sit upon a throne

But a sturdy throne needs one.

In their den, in the night

A secret measurement is taken.

Great Rulers meat, count past seven inches.

In the day, it is your choice to evaluate

Does the Ruler meet your standards?

Or does it fall short of what is needed?

Can you measure time by how they measure themselves?

When does a ruler become obsolete?
