Hippopotamus Poem
Gabriela Davidson-Gomez
J.P. Stewart PTA 5.7.55

There's the Hippopotamus,
Eating all the bushes he can find.
There's the Hippopotamus,
Swimming in the mucky pond.

There's the Hippopotamus,
Watch his huge jaws grind.
There's the Hippopotamus,
He doesn't have a magic wand.

But there's something quite amazing
About this giant creature,
He sweats his own red sunscreen,
Wow! What a great feature!


I like hippopotamuses. They do a lot of cool stuff. It makes me think "WOW!" They are amazing!
