From a lonely Burning Halloween tombstone comes this piece of topical relevance...

- This tomb would hold Ramon Kothari
- If he'd returned from his Safari
- Hippos he went out to track
- His corpse remained, a lion's snack

Not sure if the hippos sold him out, or if they were just munching along innocently when the dastardly deed was done.

Thanks to Pit and Tiger for the prose assist!

Upon my roof a hungry hippo sat. pouting.
I found him when I climbed up there to clear the blocked-up spouting.
We’d left the house for just a year, and obviously the tenants,
Had mowed the lawns, swept the paths, but overlooked this penance.

‘There’s been no cake, no cake at all, ‘ I heard him sadly mumble.
No rainbow cake or chocolate cake, or even apple crumble.
No honey roll, no coffee scroll, no lamington or muffin,
For days and days, it seems like weeks, all I’ve had is - Nuffin.’

Some people suffer, so I‘ve heard perambulating possums.
That patter on their roof all night while feasting on sweet blossoms.
But here I had a larger guest, whose dietary history,
Was indicating something of a hippo pot a a mystery.

Whatever was the answer to this hippopota -puzzle
Could wait until some food had filled his hippopota-muzzle.
To get him down the ladder- he was certain that it would break.
I lured him with the promise of a hippopota -mudcake.
So swiftly to the edge, and swifter still to terra firma,

He slid with nothing louder than a hippopota-murmur.
Then, while the cake was baking, he consumed a bowl of custard.
That he garnished with the scrapings from a pot ‘o hippo mustard.

Then he finished off some left -overs of hippo-potato mash
And was eying off the overflowing bin -with label TRASH!
So, suggesting that it might be wise to have a little rest,
I led him to the bedroom which was clearly labelled GUEST.

A hippo could become a pal that I could soon adore,
I thought, until I heard him singing, or was it a snore?
A sonorous vibrato that would die away, then rally.
Convinced me he was challenged hippo-pota-musically.

His room, next morning, was another shock, I must confess.
No adolescent ‘s ever made such a hippo-pota-mess!
I’d have to change his habits, from what he gobbled usually.
So we started with a breakfast bowl of hippo-pot-amuesli.

Then off we went along the beach for a hippo pot-a-hustle.
To build aerobic fitness and some hippop-pota-muscle.
Clipped his hippo-pota-mustache, trimmed his hippo-pota-toes
Scrubbed his hippopota-teeth and wiped his hippo-pot-a-nose.

A handsome healthy hippo soon emerged , so pleased we’d fussed.
For every hippo’s got to do what a hippopotamust.
And soon I heard the gentle hums of hippo hugs and kisses,
For my hippopotamister found his hippopotamissus!

Anyone work at a pharmacy in the US?

Nowadays they make a big deal out of conforming to the HIPPA law....

Or HIPPApotamus law, as I call it.
