This is what happens when physics and art collide! The meme brilliantly pokes fun at General Relativity's effect on our perception of space. That "perfect square" looks like a quadrilateral that got caught in a gravitational field! The joke hinges on the fact that in curved spacetime, what appears straight locally can be bent globally. Writing down the metric tensor (which describes this curvature mathematically) is indeed the challenging part - it's basically trying to explain why your "square" looks like it was drawn by a kindergartner after three juice boxes. Einstein would be proud... of your attempt, at least.
