Hilary the Hippopotamus
had a long held dream
to dance with Nureyev
in the port town of Charlene
her dream became
a reality
when Nureyev was touring
her particular locality
his regular dance partner
came down with the flu
and he was at a loss
as to what to do
he called the tour organizers
to ask their advice
they said he should
contact Hilary and not think twice
a lovely version of Swan Lake
they performed in the port town of Charlene
dancing with Nureyev
was Hilary's dream
