The Cat with a Red Tail


With difficulty I can just make out

A cat with a red tail

It is hiding behind the pewter tankards

Perhaps it is shy or just lacks confidence

I am currently constructing a decahedron

As I am waiting for a telephone call

It just passes the time

My sister is due to land in an hour

In a notebook I have written some details

Which might assist me in the future

What is an example of a decahedron?

Some decahedra have regular faces:

  • Octagonal prism (uniform 8-prism)
  • Square antiprism (uniform 4-antiprism)
  • Square cupola (Johnson solid 4)
  • Pentagonal bipyramid (Johnson solid 13, 5-bipyramid)
  • Augmented pentagonal prism (Johnson solid 52)

The cat has moved slightly to the right of the tankards

Which has further obstructed its red tail
