A Harry Halloween

Harry Hippo was not hairy
And not hip he would admit
He had no use for people
Until he used one, for a sit

It felt so good to his behind
A nice cushion it would create
His big butt did not hurt them much
But then again, did not smell great!

He hired out to a haunted house
For thrill seekers everywhere
For those who may have lost a bet
Or might be, caught up in a dare

On Halloween there is nothing
That could be, much more scary
Than that hippopotamus, 
Known everywhere as Harry!

If un-hairy, Harry sat on a canary, the poor little fellow for sure we would bury. Thanks for my morning chuckle Pat.
