Horace the hippo.
No grace,
Just an ugly face.
He stands there
Looking fat
And that.
And there is here.
They have no fear
I message
I could send
'I just want to be your friend'
As being wooden
I don't want to be tooken.
For me would be dire
To be put on the fire.
I just want to be your unbending friend.....
George BernardBloodyShaw
