How Many Sides to a Circle?

How many sides to a circle?
It depends on a peak bent.
Let the center untwirl.
Speak softly under the tent.

Politics is one sided.
If someone’s out of step.
Have one foot catch up with the other.
Trip over the matter of fact.

Pure imagination gets you in trouble.
Betsy the Stripper will tell you how.
She’ll gather you up in her bubble.
While inside she’s Blueberry Sow.

When the obstruction’s over
we’ll gather all the angles into one.
Square the circle and go further
up and down her curves having fun.

There is no ideal shape.
It’s what we get used to.
Spread her out and then rape.
Call it our nature to argue.
