July

Contributed by deadheadpoet on Thursday, 12th April 2007 @ 04:59:49 PM in AEST
Topic: ChildrensPoetry



Editor's note: I was given the word hippo to make a poem out of, this is what came and my children loved it. btw I see "July" as being purple.





I have a huge hippo
she is just the best
I won the sweet darling
in a hollering contest.

Her name is July
cause that's the month she was born
My crazy hippo
she loves to eat corn.

I'm so glad I have her
she really is quite neat
the only problem is...
finding shoes for her feet.

Yes, I can see it in a children's book. It sure made me smile. Have you done one for each animal? That would be something to buy for my great grandchildren.
