THE SHAPE OF MY LOVE



Completely round are the perfect pearls

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

I'm sad to say it can be found

In the dirty low down run around

My true love gave to me

My true love gave to me



Completely square was the velvet box

He said my ring would be in

Completely square was the envelope

He said goodbye to me in

Completely square was the handkerchief

I flourish constantly

It dries my eyes of the tears I've shed

And blows my nose till it turns quite red

Yes a 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 thru

Rectangular was the transom

Over which I had to peek thru

Rectangular was the hotel room

I entered angrily

Rectangular is the wooden box

Where lies my love with his golden locks

They said he died of 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 is the relationship

That now has ceased to be

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

My true love gave to me.
