Outlying Perimeters

I know not of iambic pentameter,
I don’t even know my own diameter.
And when I travel about a mile,
I don’t know how much is a kilometer.

So I might be slightly confused,
About all those words, that I just used.
But when I think about other people’s folly,
Mine seem so trivial, and melon collie.

So when you’re confused, 
about what word to use,
Take a lesson from me, 
and look it up, in the dic tion ary.
