Show and Tell
John brought a hippopotamus
today for show and telling.
A hippo virtuosomus;
at every task excelling.The hippo showed its skills to us
in reading, math and science.
And when it sang a songamus,
we listened there in silence.That master hippopotamus –
a pachyderm sensation –
intelligence so largeamus,
he earned our admiration.I sat in back and fussedamus.
Embarrassed, sad and lonely:
I thought my hippopotamus
would be the one and only.
That would be disappointing! 🙂
Wouldn’t it, though? I was always afraid that this would happen to me at show and tell.
This one is so much fun, and would probably tangle a tongue or two if read aloud!
Cool! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
