THE HIPPOPOTOMOUSE
A rare and dangerous species
is the hippopotomouse
If you get one in your attic
Then you’d better leave your house.

Want to go where hippos, rhinos, and elephants roam?
Want to see some things you will never see at home?
Zimbabwe is the place to travel. Victoria Falls will delight.
National Gallery of Zimbabwe is full of wonderful light.
Victoria Falls drops into the Batoka Gorge with real beauty.
I think we should head to Africa, it feels like our duty.
Matusadona and Mana Pools National Parks would keep us busy.
Watching the giraffes and zebras, might put us in a tizzy.
The sights we would see there would be with us the rest of our life.
White water rafting and bungee jumping we could do with no strife.
Want to go where hippos might chase us into the trees?
Zimbabwe, Mom. Can we go there just once, please?

?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From the sun’s rays, you’ve withdrawn.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.
