The Lyrics

I shall tell of some shapes in geometry you learn
By the cruel hand of teachers, in your brain these shapes will burn
They want you to learn them for they’re all part of this world,
And once memorized, you’ll see reality unfurled.

CHORUS: Well she'd been drawing on the blackboard till the chalk
It all was gone, Made of triangles and squares a new polygon.

There are dodecahedrons and triangles and more,
The geodesic dome uses polygons galore,
They’re found in each flower, bacteria and tree,
Learn to work with them and your mind shall be set free.
CHORUS
The road signs we look at are polygons simplex,
Rectangles, Triangles, were known to the Aztecs,
The ultimate polygon in a circle resides,
For it’s simply a shape having in-finite sides.
CHORUS

Witty version of a dreary old song. Did you happen to find Tom Lehrer on You Tube?

No 2Eagle, but I was raised on Tom Lehrer - and know most of his stuff by heart.
