An inch and a mile

An inch and a mile were sailing down the Nile

They did it in such style

Made it look cinch

Could do it in a pinch

Would even make you wince

Haven't seen them since

If you have read their file

You would realise that it took a long time to compile

Hopefully you didn't think it was too vile

Has to make you smile

But remember this

If you give someone an inch they will take a mile
