Notes About The Poem
I spent about 9 years between France, Belgium, West Germany, Germany, and Macedonia.  I always thought it was absurd to use measuring cups for weight.  Even using the metric system instead of cups/pints/quarts/gallons, it would have made much more sense for them to use either cubic centimeters or fractions of a liter, both which are VOLUMES.

Measure For Measure

I moved to Europe.
They measured weight by volume.
Completely absurd!
