| Completely round is the perfect pearl
|
| The oyster manufactures;
|
| Completely round is the steering wheel
|
| That leads to compound fractures
|
| Completely round is the golden fruit
|
| That hangs from the orange tree
|
| Yes, the circle shape is quite renowned
|
| And sad to say, it can be found
|
| In the low down, dirty runaround
|
| My true love gave to me, yes
|
| My true love gave to me
|
| Completely square is the velvet box
|
| He said my ring would be in
|
| Completely square is the envelope
|
| He said farewell to me in
|
| Completely square is the handkerchief
|
| I flourish constantly
|
| As I dry my eyes of the tears I shed
|
| And blow my nose that turned bright red;
|
| Completely square is my true love’s head:
|
| He will not marry me, no, he will not marry me
|
| Rectangular is the hotel door
|
| My true love tried to sneak through
|
| Rectangular is the transom
|
| Over which I had to peek through
|
| Rectangular is the hotel room I entered angrily
|
| And rectangular is the wooden box
|
| Where lies my love neath the golden phlox
|
| They say he died from the chicken pox
|
| In part I must agree: one chick too many had he!
|
| Triangular is the piece of pie
|
| I eat to ease my sorrow
|
| Triangular is the hatchet blade
|
| I plan to hide tomorrow
|
| Triangular the relationship
|
| That now has ceased to be
|
| And triangular is the garment thin
|
| That fastens on with a safety pin
|
| To a prize I had no wish to win;
|
| It’s a lasting memory that my true love gave to me |
