A gray hippo lived in the zoo <br />It was so stressful it turned him blue <br />The giraffes laughed at his skin so blue <br />That only made him bluer times two <br />Now the lion was wise but a little slow <br />That's how he wound up the star of the show <br />He and hippo played a game called solitaire <br />While the lion played fleas were biting him everywhere <br />Hippo ate chocolate cake that the tourist <br />Threw over the gate <br />Wise old lion said, 'You better watch your weight. <br />You're getting a little thick in the hip '. <br />'HUMPH! ', said hippo <br />'Why do you think they call us, <br />Hip-po-pot-a-mus? '<br /><br />Midnights Voice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-gray-hippopotamus-lived-in-a-zoo/
