Hungry Hippos Are Actually Quite Rare Poem by sid kalita

homer would have you believe that hippos are naturally hungry
though i will have you know that hungry hippos are actually quite rare...

they mostly like to bask in the sun out in the plains bare
and they wade in the lakes 'cause you know they can't work up a sweat;
so when they waddle out of the puddle,
watch out for the big huddle lest you bemuddle yourself
playing a game of pick-up h-o-r-s-e in the river.
