Rectangle,
Rectangle,
Where Have
You Been?

Queen

Rectangle, Rectangle

Rectangle, rectangle,

Where have you been?

I’ve been to London to work for the queen.

Rectangle, rectangle

What did you there?

They needed my shape for the back of her chair.

But now that I’m finished the work on her throne,

I’m packing my corners and heading for home.

 

Queen with rectangle on throne

Answer here:The original version of this Mother Goose rhyme goes like this:

Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the queen.
Pussycat, Pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

Geometry is a part of math that studies shapes.
