Hippos
?I watch you move gracefully through the water
Your sleepy eyes and lazy ways
during the hottest days.
Oh, how great art thou yawn.
From the sun’s rays, you’ve withdrawn.
You don't move around like busy bees.
You keep cool in a watery pool,
fanned by the summer breeze.
To figure you out, why do I bother?
You're one of the most unique creatures God ever thought of.
