EXTRAORDINARY 'ABOU



Athletics- in every metre,
Speeches
Art and beauty contests
More ....

every geometric figure
has been represented
by one each;

Running, running
Jumping, jumping
Swimming, swimming
Targeting, targeting
Crawling, crawling
Curling, curling
....
which one do we vote for
to win?

Circle...Noway, Not Circle,
for it was one of the contestants;

Trapezium...Noway, Not Trapezium
for it was one of them.

Rhombus...Noway, Not Rhombus,
for it was one of them.
...

Square...Square enough!
for it was not there!
