You see a little muddy pond
Of water, never dry,
I've measured it from side to side:
'Tis three feet long, and two feet wide

- The Thorn by Wordsworth. He sounds as if he's writing up a real estate agent's description. (He later revised it to "You see a little muddy pond Of water - never dry, Though but of compass small, and bare To thirsty suns and parching air".)

Probably not the sort of thing you really want though, if you had John Stuart MIll rather than Knight Frank Rutley in mind.
