For no reason at all, a poem.
The colours and shapes decided
They needed to sort out what’s what –
If the blue could beat green in a blue,
If rectangles were best, or the dots.
So they found a municipal oval,
And prepared for a very grand day,
And sent out the word to each other
That now might be a particularly auspicious time to play.
First up were the black and white zig zags,
Who bested the greeny-blue squares;
But then came the fuchsia diamonds,
Who put stop to their little affair.
The pink polka dots beat the purple –
The game was a jolly good romp;
While the match up of teal versus salmon
Turned into a contre-temps.
O! The crowd cried with eager excitement,
With passion and fervour and rage
At the stripes, the houndstooth, the triangles,
The amber, the peach and the beige!
But now, in this final of finals,
Which side would be best of the best?
Out came the shapes and the colours
For a truly terrific contest!
First up were the lilac-cream squiggles –
The crowd roared with glee from the stand;
And then came the buttercup checkmarks –
This final was grander than grand!
But ah, what a jolly imbroglio –
What more of this show need I say?
Though the squiggles played wonderfully well,
The buttercup checks won the day.
What a perfectly spiffing occasion!
They all gave a most rousing cheer,
And determined that, all things considered,
They would meet up same time next year!
