Heights

Two friends meet
after a time long,
to dept. maths
the geniuses belong

Both arrogant, both proud
they have a fight
who is smarter,
who is more bright

A test they shall have,
which will, the answer decide
To find anyhow, anyway,
a flagpole's height

One pelted stones
on the tip of the post
His equations, his idea
God only knows

The other measured the distance
between the post and him
A compass and some nods now
telling the angle between the bottom and tip

A frustrated engineer
decides to cut short the day
lays the pole on ground
scales it with a measuring tape

One says to the other
ignore him, another confused child
telling us the length,
when we are looking for height...
