Give Me Something Round

Give me something round Edges to life should be circular Beware of the elliptic mystery Rotate your marbles frequently Give me something spherical Two hemispheres in harmony Held together with super glue Solid to the core and spiraling Give me something not Michigan (Round objects are illegal in Michigan) Balls and clocks are criminal offenses Cops eat holes but not the donuts Give me something curled up Cylindrical in its composition Rotund but not too obtusely cute Circumferences should not be too cute Give me something more articulated Orbicular to orbiculated would be great An object that orbits about itself and others Held in both hands hollowed out loud Give me something, anything with a shape As long as it is not cube or rectangular Squares and lines are grave mistakes God forgives that which is angular Give me something other than zeros There must be light at the end of the tunnel Ovals become more circular over time Edges become less... once questioned Give me moons surrounded by planets Give me bald women who look ridiculous We love them anyway from the bottom up And the universe they came in on
