HIPPO-RHYME-OPOTOMUS<br />
‘I'm sick to death,’ the hippo said,<br />
‘I tell you, there are times<br />
I'd like to crush those awful poets<br />
And all their silly rhymes.<br />
It is really undignified<br />
The way they rhyme my name.<br />
I wish I was magnanimous<br />
But I feel venomous<br />
When my name's made autonomous<br />
With people like Hieronymous.<br />
It's absolutely scurrilous<br />
How their half-baked rhymes mock at us<br />
Harmless hippopotamus.’
