Geometry 00 Poem by Sonya Annita Song

It's something they teach in all of our schools,
Basic geometry, shapes and their rules,
But something they fail to pythagorate
Is how they all share the same basic trait.

Circles and triangles, hexagons too,
May have varying sides and theorems, it's true,
But cut anywhere, along any shape,
Spread them all out, and there's no escape -

That though they may seem so different to start,
They're really all lines when taken apart.
