Behold the hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us,
And yet in moments dank and grim,
I wonder how we look to him.
Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us,
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.
— Ogden Nash, "The Hippopotamus"

I had a hippopotamus: I kept him in a shed
And fed him upon vitamins and vegetable bread...
He frolicked with the Rector in a dozen friendly tussles,
Who could not but remark upon his hippopotamuscles.
