Hipposong

I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus And nine of it's friends who declared Quite a lot of us Are feelingrather blue And we don't know what to do I turned away but the large hippopotamus Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless Yest hippopotami are Not supposed to cry I said "My, my, other people's problems Do get tedious by and bye My, my you can never solve them No matter how hard you try." This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus Who said in a voice that was growing monotonous You cannot get the sense Of how it feels to be immense The sleek and the sliim make fun Of a lot of us And creatures who fly Through the air Sit on top of us ANd even in the pool We are faced with ridicule I said "My, my other people's problems Do get tedious by and by My, my you can never solve them No matter how hard you try." I came back as a large hippopotamus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
