Yesterday's prompt was to write a tanka, which is a five-line poem with the syllable pattern 5-7-5-7-7. A bit like an extended version of a haiku, I suppose. The last two lines are supposed to deliver a surprise. I wouldn't say this is really a surprise, but all the same, I hope it delivers.

Measure twice, cut once.
It’s a good rule. It
applies
on all manner of levels.
