Replying to a comment on:

The daisy-chain girl (Free verse) by richa

The length of a daisy chain is no measure, we are not in ancient rome, one must do like us to live in the orchard-- 'shake the low branches till apples are dropped and buckets are full and stalks are to be re-hung with new fruit' 'or one's knotted daisies'.

What I was trying for with 'we are not in ancient rome' was the ingenuity of their measurement system. The mile being a thousand paces, using wheel revolutions to measure length etc.

Measure being a play on measure of someones worth
