Misunderstanding 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
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

Sunset Spread
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

"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
