Today she was going to become the bride of her favorite goose.

His brother stepped in when the groom turned up dead.

Premium MemberMisunderstanding Of Male Hippo In Midlife Crisis

Are my motives questionable
Maybe even disagreeable
Knowing they will be unforgettable
Therefore, under the magnifying glass examine

A male hippopotamus lost so much weight
He felt he was the bull most likely
To stay out late
With flamboyant, embellished cows

He was no longer 
A defender of his character
Living in abandon
His life needed to be abolished

His old life he needed to follow
Acknowledge

Dainty hippo man with your light lovely lithe sprint
Your two-step makes my gleeful eyes squint
I love the way you circle around the room after a nap
With your shoes going sixty directions, tapping tap tap tap

Your top hat and cane make your dancing complete
It is energetic and exciting; it simply cannot be beat.
Dainty hippo man, you

We love playing with him, said a fairy named Toot.

He is delightful in every direction, as much as he can be.

Bam! Crash! Crack! The hippo went down.
A resounding loud noise in Ice Skating town.
Is the ice cracking? One of the owners cried.
Yes, another agreed, a snake has slithered inside.

The Return Gift - Nursery Rhyme

Chinnu, the chipmunk got a gift, a corn,
from her best friend, Hugo, the hippo.
She planned to eat the tasty corn soon,
and meet Hugo the next afternoon 
to give him a large pear that she’d stored
in her burrow near the neem tree.

An idea sparked in Chinnu’s brain then.
She thought, ‘Why can’t I give Hugo right now

Rolled twenty four hour emblem
Seraphim wing big bugle salute
Brass hark sinking eve rendered
In mango skin peach bleed fruit
Feeding starved ice vivid sphere
Jelly spread scone sweet revere


Flambe set circle tart crumbles 
Untouched chains gold dissolve
Serpent thin silhouette humbles
Orange scorch ball's Hell resolve
Tempers the tepid forget me not
Stamen seed violet hippopotami

African River is where I will dine.

Part 3

They quickly learned... there was cause for concern
     As the lifeboat was barely afloat.
When the Atheist turned and swiftly discerned,
    "A large Hippo is swamping our boat."

The Captain was clear to allay their fears
    The Hippo was not much of a threat.
"As even though
