Triangle Trouble

Triangle's a bully because he has the fewest number of sides!

    Triangle with mean face
Everyone knows Triangle’s a bully,
Stares down the squares completely and fully…
Pains the poor polygons until they say please…
Laughs at them loudly, a 3-sided tease…
Why’s he so mean?
This is my theory,
He wants a new side,
And that makes him weary…
Most poly’s possess,
More than 3 sides,
Triangle’s left out,
Not ‘one of the guys,’
He’d like to obtain,
Side number 4,
But as he found out,
It’s hard to get more!
Quadrilaterals,
rectangle quadrilateral
4 sides!
Octagons 8!
octagon
Pentagons 5!
Pentagon
He feels so 3rd rate!
He’s insecure,
It’s always a bug,
So triangle wakes up,
And acts like a thug!
But maybe one day,
That 3-sided shape,
Will accept what he is,
And feel really great!
