Don’t know an obtuse from an acute to a right
Hated school-day maths with a passion
But liked playing with set squares, protractors,
and those metal thingies
that you clamped a pencil to
and made perfect circles
Here’s a lesson in geometry
from Blackpool’s South Promenade
They’re all there –
lines, curves, angles, spheres, planes, arcs
Now to decide which is what!
Blackpool’s giant glitterball
46,000 mirrors catch the light – even on a dull day
