Poem: More Circular Things-3

More Circular Things-3

Madonna Della Seggiola
by Raphael (1514)

Geodesic Dome
Epcot Center (2007)

Alba Madonna (1511)
by Raphael (1483-1520)

Round Madonna Raphael paintings in Rome—
artworks prized more than "Geodesic Dome".

Don't go down a manhole cover—
Find yourself a circular white clover.

Let showerhead water pour out like rain
faster than flowing down a sink drain.

A flashlight for your store,
a door knob on every door.

The ceiling lights are top-grade—
bought same time as the lamp shade.

Plumbing pipes were installed
when his smoking pipe was recalled.

Don't use washers and be unclean
doing laundry with washing machine.

Oranges are good fruits to eat
with cantaloupe as extra treat.

A sunflower brightens our day
while daisies make a nice bouquet.

A symphonic French horn blast
with flute's tune that's unsurpassed.

Clash of cymbals, pounding drumbeats
will rouse you up from your seats!
