Poem: Hippopotamus.
Hippopotamus.
.
The name sounds absurd
But the old bull is not.
Don’t think to approach him
His temper is hot.
He’s dangerous, he’s deadly, decidedly mean,
A one to avoid on the African scene.
If you see calves with cows
I don’t think you should moo,
These cantankerous mothers
Will cut you in two.
Supremely aggressive, contentious and mean
A one to avoid on the African scene.
