Ode to the Square.

They ask me, "S.,
How can you bear
To be a square?"

And I'm like, "Dude,
When you're as awesome as me
There's nothing else you can be."

So they're like, "Well,
What's so great
About this shape?"


And I'm like, "Observe,
The sides are so straight
And so is each face."


Then they're like, "Oh,
I see the right angles - 
They might be more than I can handle!"


So I'm like, "What,
Is that all?
What about the four strong walls?"

And they're like, "Wow,
You're totally right - 
What a sight!"


And I'm like, "Look,
The smooth tessellation
It's beyond the imagination!"


So they're like, "S.,
I concur
The perfection of the square - 
It captures your awesomeness,
I see it all there!"


And I'm like, "Thanks,
I knew you'd see the light
Though it took you a while,
I'm glad you know I'm right."
