Maude and Muzz

no one loves as hard as a hippo does
just ask my neighbors, Maude and Muzz.
Muzz fell hard for her at age fifteen.
He chased her around the Dairy Queen

Maude was smitten by Muzz too.
They spoon each other with eyes goo-goo
The rest of us watch them and we say
They’ll have a litter of hippos one day.
