Hippopotamus

Oh!  I’m very glad that I
Am not a Hippopotami
And should I ever get the choice
It’ll not be Hippopotamoice

Hippopotami and I 
Hippopotami, I, and fly
Hippopotami, I, and fly, o my!
Fly fly, fly by high
Fly by high my Hippopotami and I
Goodbye.

Do You Guess

If more than just one hippo 
Are hippopotami, 
Do you guess a pair of rhinos
Would be pronounced rhinoceri? 
                                                   
And if you crossed a rhino 
With a hippo, do you guess
You'd get a horned hippoceros?
Or an angry rhinopotamus?

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
