Polygon
Hopefully it won't take long
To point out that a decagon
Is a certain type of polygon
A ten angled and sided shape
Quite unlike one that has eight
Or else it would then be an octagon
And while all of us are on
The hot topic of polygons
We might as well go through the other lot
Like the quadrilateral
A square, rhombus or rectangle
With no more than the four sides that it’s got
And some would get rather annoyed
If I left out trapezoid
Or the simple diamond shape of kites
Or the parallelogram
Something else you also can
Call a quadrilateral if you like
Oh the list goes on and on
There’s the five sided pentagon
As well as the six sided Hexagon
The Heptagon has seven
That’s four less than eleven
And finally nine for the nonagon!
And let us take a look and see
Shapes made up only three
Sides to them and only three angles
Being the shape commonly called
By the name that’s known to all
As the simple three sided triangle
The list goes on and on and on
I can’t forget Hendecagon
A shape made up of four more sides than seven!
Add another side and then
You have another shape again
Dodecagon with one more than eleven
There’s Triskaidecagon
A thirteen sided polygon
Tetrakaidecagon has fourteen
Fifteen for pentadecagon
Then Hexakaidecagon
A shape made up of no less than sixteen!
I hope that I’m not boring you
That isn’t what I’m trying to do
But if you stick around it won’t take long
To say that Heptadecagon
And Octakaidecagon
Are seventeen and eighteen sided polygons!
Enneadecagon is a
Nineteen sided shape they say
While Icosagon has just twenty
And now I’m going to have a try
And say the rest before we die
I hope I can because there sure are plenty!
Triacontagon thirty
Tetracontagon forty
Pentacontagon’s made up of fifty
Hexacontagon sixty
Octacontagon eighty
While Heptacontagon has seventy!
Then we get to ennea again
With contagon put on the end
To make a ninety sided polygon
But don’t think that we’ve reached the end
Ninety sides added to ten
Is what you call the mighty Hectagon!
But wait with me now a second
There is a shape with a thousand
Sides on it called the chiliagon
And if you add 9000 more
There is a shape you can’t ignore
That they say is called the myriagon!
And though this poem was quite long
I hope you’ve learnt that polygons
Are shapes that have more sides to them than two
I could go on and on and on
From Megagon to Googolgon
But that’s something that I’m not game to do!
Listen to The Polygon Song!!!
