On Meters


 


“Carol Ann Duffy to mark phasing out of gas meters with a new poem” – Guardian headline


Metre meter? Nothing neater!
Pete demurs, aside o' Rita,
heater next their 3-piece seater,
as they teeter to delete a
tweeter fleeter than a greeter
who buttonholes the metre beater
bent on bashing out those feet. A 
tweeter tweets it's not a treat a
poet needs to metre meter.
     Are Reet and Peter in the right
     when they delete the tweet on sight?
