Not Without My Rhombus

O great stellated dodecahedron
I made you out of clay 
A crate of dictatorships that Burt Weedon 
Must be making a play for today 

Flying trapezium 
See how they swing 
Dance parallelogram
Twist in the wind 

A rack of ribs is tubes and tendons
A cylinder’s in shape 
 A lack of windows, potato chip tension 
Three kinds of electrical tape 

Flying trapezium 
Over the moon
Interstellar medium 
Not a moment too soon 

Molly molly
Bendy bendy 
Molybdenum 
Hydroponic 
Splendid splendid 
Polygon and blow the bloody doors off. 

But you don’t like bulgy Mooses
You don’t like pentagrams 
The wave set square 
On the cupboard bare 
All that’s left is spam
Not quite right 
Blow hard then bite 

Not without my rhombus 
Not my shoe 
I don’t know why I’m running 
Out of news, glue and whistles too 

I know what 12 sides makes 
I count em sure enough 
Touch the faces, corners too 
Away from my rhombus 

Youve never been Euclidene

Not without my Rhombus
