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

I Will Come Back As a Hippo
Reincarnation is for me sublime.
I’ll be a hippopotamus next time.
They do not eat ants
They devour plants
African River is where I will dine....

Irony
The farmer sowed seeds and said:
These will, by God, surely sprout;
Not he; those got, by them, fed,
Turned hippopotamus-stout...!

Wallaby
I wanna be a wallaby
And not just a wanna-be,
Not a kangaroo or
Silly platypus
But, if I can’t be a wallaby
I think that I would wanna be
A plump and dumpy
Hippopotamus!

Hippopotamius and Synonyamous
Hippopotamus and Synonymous
Some say if I happen to be a hippopotamus
My son to me also should be synonymous
And if they found and ate any anti-mater
Would they actually end up being fatter?

Hippopotamus
Is of no interest to me
Lives in muddy ponds
Since no one wants its
Considerable teeth
It is left alone
To harass innocent tourists
Who assume
It is a river horse
And can be caressed....

Poetry Im Stuck
my poetry has gone south
like a unrepentant priest
I am stuck in a purgatory
All I observe is politics
but that's an obvious target
I feel lacking inspiration
Where is nature
the yarn of a kelp
a mud baked hippopotamus in Safari
or an ominous looming blackbird

Poetry
In my house there are many windows
I await the shimmering light
to warm my poems
but I am stuck for inspiration
I await for nature
just some simple lea
with truncated river
dithering away listlessly
under azure sky
or a poem about a
sun baked hippopotamus
under surveillance
of a tourist truck

I Saw a Hippopotamus
I saw a Hippopotamus going to the fair,
wearing pink pyjamas with a bow up in his hair,
he was followed by a Zebra who was wearing bright
blue socks,
a Chimp and a Koala bear, wearing matching frocks,
they climbed into the teapots looking quite a sight,
and a little old man spat out his teeth as they gave him quite a fright!...

The Nervous Hippo
A hippopotamus walked the tight rope
Wobbling to and fro he did grope
To find some balance as he peered beneath
The spectators looked like ants in their seats
He tried to convince himself he was not afraid
He counted to ten and then he made
A deal with himself that he would not break
To never show off again and put his life at stake!...

Small Hippopotamus (For Children)
The small hippopotamus
Has taken his grandmother's glasses,
Has taken his father's hat and scarf,
And a portfolio his uncle's briefcase.
He put all of the clothing on himself,
Picked up the briefcase,
has looked in a mirror,
Has scratched his own snub-nosed nose
and said, "Well, now I am grown up!"
("Well, now I am an adult!)...

Would You Understand?
If I saw a purple moon
and told you all about it,
would you understand
and say you do not doubt it?
If I saw a hippopotamus
upon that purple moon,
would you wink your eye
at the ravings of a loon?
If upon that hippo grew
an odd and strangely tree,
astride upon a branch
sat a fellow, exactly like me,
should I ask
see my vision of a wonderland,
would you understand?...

Hippopotamus
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

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....
