#hippopotamus - Hello Poetry

A gray hippopotamus lived in a zoo At the end of the Tropical Line, Harry the Hippo lived next to the loo Right by the Northern confines. With his wide toothy smile, And his great double chin, He greeted his neighbors With a great hippo grin... Made friends with the deer, Made friends with an owl, Avoided the white scowling bear, Avoided the family of wolves, (He'd heard they liked to eat meat). Decided to friend a great, walloping moose, A challenge, his neighbor seemed rather elite. Tall and severe with a beard on his chin, He stood like a tree on his heavy brown hooves, And branches of antlers stood heavy and grim. "I see we are neighbors,"said Harry the Hippo, "Name's Harry," he said with a grin, "Since it looks like we'll be here a while, ya' know, I figure we ought to be friends!" "Bull" Moose only chewed a bit more on his cud, Burped in the gray hippo's face, Turned his wide antlers for well and for good... He spurned the whole hippo race. But Harry had patience, Had nowhere to go, So he waited a week and a month and a day For Otto the Moose to come 'round, And he did! And now the two of 'em play. Our Harry's advice to you is be nice, And after a while, it comes true.... The balkiest neighbors will have to think twice And fall into friendship with you. (0=

Harry the Hippo and Otto The Moose

A gray hippopotamus lived in a zoo At the end of the Tropical Line, Harry the Hippo lived next to the loo Right by the Northern confines.

Decided to friend a great, walloping moose, A challenge, his neighbor seemed rather elite.

A gray hippo lived in the zoo It was so stressful it turned him blue The Giraffes laughed at his skin so blue That only made him bluer times two Now the Lion was wise but a little slow That's why he wound up as the star of the show He and Hippo were playing a game of solitaire While the Lion played fleas were biting him everywhere Hippo ate chocolate cake That the tourist threw over the gate Wise old Lion said , "You better watch your weight Your getting a little thick in the hip ." "Humph !" , said Hippo , "Why do you think they call us Hip-po-pot-a-mus ."
