The thing you'll notice most about a hippopotamus |
[Nymo] |
|
Is though it may be large it's not a ship or not a bus |
[Nymo] |
|
Which 'tis a shame as surely it would fit a lot of us |
[Nymo] |
|
And although it has a rather big bottomus |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
It's the other end that causes all the fuss |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
Save for an oxpecker, in a hippo's mouth anything will surely cuss |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
Did you know that 'hippopotamus' means 'river horse'? |
[Grayman] |
|
I think it's from the Latin, though it might be Welsh of course |
[Grayman] |
|
And it takes an age to tap it out in code of Mr. Morse |
[Grayman] |
|
With a mouth that closes with almighty force |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
It seems endowed with Godly powers of Norse |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
Though generally it's from eating copious amounts of borscht |
[archaeopteryx] |
|
I know this from a New York Times undisclosed source |
