Hippopotamus Lunch

Everyday I have lunch
With a pink hippopotamus
The menus always the same
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches 
Oh, and Diet Cherry Coke 
Cause he likes the way it tickles his throat

His friends sometimes stop by
To join the both of us
Hippopotami 
If you're talking more than one of us
Or Hippo for short
If you're not into funny sounding words

Sometimes after lunch
Me and my friend the pink Hippopotamus 
Like to take a drive
To the beach in his Minibus
He loves to catch the rays
Plus hang ten on a few waves

If you ever care for lunch
Feel free to join me and my Hippopotamus 
But only if you like
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches 
Because it's all that he will eat
Which is fine by me
Makes for easy cooking and cleaning

Great humour and the menu sounds great Mike but I don't think there would be room for me in the car :-) hugs Jan xx
