CIRCULAR REASONING

The round hole rolls on Cursed by its inability To accept the square peg Perhaps it was fear of corners For he had visited a square hole And was mocked for his lack of angles He learned later that the circle is complete Fully accepting of all angles Without favoring any However, he is still unsure Which slot Tab A should be inserted into

It's about time someone raised the issue of shapism. It's always the square peg made to feel unwanted. Should we circle off a square or square a circle? Or should I not comment on poems myself already half cut (it's Friday :D)

Well it has been pointed out that the circle has 360 degrees and is still just a big ZERO.....HAHAHAHA...or perhaps a parallelogram is just a lazy square or a gymnastic triangle
