Square blocks, build so high,
reaching up, towards the sky.

Circle, circle, round and neat,
rolling smoothly down the street

Rectangle fridge, cold inside,
open door, see what hides.

Triangle sail, on the boat,
in the water, see it float.

Star above, with light so bright,
guides us gently through the night.

Heart on a card, colourful and true,
sending love from me to you.

Rhombus shape, pointy and wide,
four straight sides, stand side by side.
