THE FLOPPOPOTAMUS

By Josie Whitehead 

Floppopotamus (The)

The floppopotamus is strange.

     It’s wings flap up and down.

It flies at speed across the fields

     And often lands in town.

 

The floppopotamus is weird:

       It's mystical of course,

But please don't ride one, I'd advise,

    For it's nothing like a horse.

 

This beast would likely carry you

      Right up there with the stars

And goodness knows where you'd end up;

     It could well be on Mars.

 

The floppopotamus is shy,

     So he’s seldom ever seen,

But he's cousin to a hippo though.

    But with eyes of emerald green.

 

The floppopotamus is large,

      And  children love him so,

But what do YOU think that's he's like?

     I'd really love to know.
