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 dirty low down, 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 wrote 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 Perfect 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 Now 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 the self same shape 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
