SHAPES (Monday Poem)

by Shel Silverstein


A square was sitting quietly
Outside his rectangular shack
When a triangle came down -- kerplunk!--
And struck him in the back.
"I must go to the hospital,"
Cried the wounded square,
So a passing rolling circle
Picked him up and took him there.



from A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein, 1981, Harper & Row
