Shapes R us


I went for a walk
My daughter tagging along
She begins to talk-
To various geometric shapes we belong
Did I learn from her.

“I’m so puzzled mama,”
She claims, picking up dirt
“I feel a triangle in my heart.”

We walk further
“I can see so many things
That I see my eyes going in circles,”
Says she.

“Oh! This sun,” she complains
“Now I’ve become a square,”
Saying so, she squats
And doesn’t move an inch.
I carry her back home,
feeling so cylindrical.

And if you see
No connection
Whatsoever
Between the shapes and us
Don’t point your finger at me
Point it at my daughter
Who has become a rectangle
On the bed, just now!
(shhh! She is resting!Taking a nap!after that walk!)
