5618 Lonesome Soul 18 August 2006 At night there was quiet that place to sleep alone The radio a companion but company for what To love an ounce yet want a kilogram or more To want a ton, yet accept the tone of an unknown voice The words of a song the voice singing a stranger This night of loneliness was that what God made For what of morning and sunshine does reign come from the heart When a stranger was nothing more than a lonesome soul, sleeping The ounce (abbreviation: oz) is the name of a unit of mass in a number of different systems, including various systems of mass that formed part of English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used ounces used today are the international avoirdupois ounce and the international troy ounce. The gram (Greek/Latin root grámma) symbol g, is a unit of mass. Originally defined as the mass of 1 cubic centimetre of water at 4°C but now taken as the one one-thousandth of the SI base unit kilogram, or 1×10−3 kg, a mass preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It was the base unit of mass in the original French metric system and the later centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units. 1 ounce (avoirdupois) = 28.349523125 grams 1 ounce (troy) = 31.1034768 grams © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
