The posture of a Hippo is bent and curved
Its temperament borders on the absurd
The way it swims and the way it looks
Could only exist in children's books
It's mentioned in the bible, as a creature of God
In ‘Job Chapter 40' we learn, “that its strong bones are like an iron rod”
It's powerful hide and crunching jaws
Means it could have come from the dinosaurs
He is truly the behemoth of the animal planet
Although foolishly we make a habit
By failing to give it the respect he truly deserves
Instead, we focus on the posture, of the Hippo's curves.
