Belated April the Fool
Once upon a time,
a voice
was heard
in the streets of
the-not-few
round about:
Whose tips are
these,
the triangles
burdened?
The rectangles. The trapezium. The square.
The parallelogram.
The rhombus.
The cuboid. The cube.
The octagonal. The hexagons...
Trapped or tipped,
the full circles-
like a fool,
claimed the tip/s.
