1,609,344 m

One million,
Six hundred and nine thousand,
Three hundred and fourty-four miles.

That's the number,
Written out,
As though some kind of poem.

And hyberbole suggests
It's an overstatement
To walk so far.

And Proclamations of plagiariasm don't go ignored.

And pedants point to innacuracies -
And they'd be correct.

It should be kilometres.
After all.
