Your delicate mumble, is really no rumble, Oh wonderful, trundle wheel. The Ruler's so tedius, boring and plain, Endless repetition, Of its spacial position, Risks jumble avoided by wheel of trundle. To fathom a tumble, Or measure my uncle, The wheel gives no reason to moan or to grumble. Vernier callipers? No thanks, not for me! Your shape is so spikey, Not matching so nicely, The rotundity trundley wheel. As forwards I bumble, With you I can't stumble, As long as I trust my companion who trundles. Dear RADAR, you could learn a thing or two, From the wheel's clever simplicity, Requiring no electricity, Oh, humble trundle wheel. A hot apple crumble, or vascular bundle, Both lengths you will know if beside them you trundle. Micrometer, why measure so small? God's world is so vast, Won't fit in your grasp, The trundle encompases all. The bumbly, trumbly, Humbly, mumbly Wonderfully trundly wheel.

Curse you and your knowledge of measuring devices.

A couple matters of rhythm bug me, but I like the tone.

callipers is not in my dictionary, so I must agree with Dark Angel. Cute though. "Hum dum dee dum, dum dum dee dum, I'm so rumbly in my tumbly."

try it with one l. [[though a surprise to me at dictionary.com that two is a variant. though possibly not after the word 'vernier']]

My spelling is just so revolutionary that it's completely beyond your feeble capacity. I'm years ahead of my time.
