Flatland in Song
(To the tune of "Jingle Bells".)
A/N: if you are to sing along, know that it starts with the "dashing through the snow." tune, not the "Jingle bells" tune. This is really short, I know, but it's a spur of the moment (and someone's review) that made me summarize the short book into an even shorter song. Note: in this case, queer is for the old English word weird, or odd.
Disclaimer: I don't own "Flatland", nor do I own "Jingle Bells"
By touring other lands
With a great, round sphere,
Sees things that are quite queer!
No dimension points,
1 dimension lines,
4 and 5 dimension worlds
seem logically fine
OH! (Everybody!)
In Flatland, In Flatland
Nothing's really flat.
They all have three dimensions
But they don't know that!
(repeat chorus, slightly out of tune)
~~~ Now, now, doesn't that make you want to go caroling? ~~~
