The Hippopotamus
A hippo never went to school which seems quite the catawampus tho' he's no fool it's not cool as there's no hippo campus and wild is the hippo while the horse may be tamed yet both are herbivores with large teeth to graze or crop and altho' the hippo has an equine nickname that's where the similarity stops as the hippo is the horse of...

in my hands, a poetry book green cover doesn’t matter the weight, does meaty, the insides questions posed, poets famous “Edward,” was, anonymous hippopotamus, just felt like saying this cover to cover, I grip working measurements, with my eyes disguise, I am just avoiding the inevitable walk out to explore my feelings rather, I put my nose back into my catharsis, not gravity ...

A young friendly hippopotamus lived by the river, across from us Then one day five hunters came Looking to shoot big easy game. * They put five bullets in his head And now our friendly hippos dead They should bow heads in shame The lodge will never be the same. * To kill that beast a heinous crime They should do some...

Premium Member Hieronymus Hippopotamus
Hieronymus the Hippopotamus, Implied at times that he was xylotomous; Even claiming to be most gregarious. Real time though, he loved to be autonomous; Only decidedly not anonymous; Not to mention being quite hilarious. Yet no one found him to be synonymous, Moreover, with the crudely cantankerous; Unlikely even to be obstreperous. Some friends on the Nile found him magnanimous....

My Hippopotamus
The chucky of the body makes it whole Is it there for a valid reason The toughness of the skin makes it solid Is it there to cover the softness Loving my structure I might be quite But when my mouth is open The world hears me I might not be the one to look at But the world stares at me I might...

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...

Hippopotamus Having Hyperactivity
Hyperthermia can be caused by standing in slip streams in sluice dumps. It never really fails if ice water can run a lake from a rusted tap. And the mid morning broken by the drip drip drip from a nozzle. Squirt then. Nozzles are not noses and noses are not neon. But bringing a interdimensional...
