Once upon a time, in a land of play and fun,
There were five little shapes, all wanting to be one.

The first was Transform, he could change with ease,
From a square to a triangle, or a rectangle with ease.

The second was Rotate, always spinning around,
He loved to twirl and spin, without making a sound.

The third was Scale, who could make things big or small,
A tiny little circle, or a giant bouncing ball.

The fourth was Stretch, who loved to reach up high,
Making things long and tall, as if they touched the sky.

The fifth was Replace, who liked to switch and swap,
Changing things around, never wanting them to stop.

But there was one more shape, who was a bit askew,
A little bit different, but just as fun to view.

Together they played, in a world full of delight,
Using all their powers, to create with all their might.

Transform, Rotate, Scale, Stretch, Replace, and Skew,
Working together, to make something new.

And so they learned that in this land of play and fun,
They could make anything they wanted, with all these shapes as one.
