Anonymous Hippopotamus

[divot]

I choose to remain anonymous said the hippopotamus
I’ll stay here in the lake and not a wake I’ll make
Squinting little eyes, despite my giant size
Floating like a bubble, not looking for no trouble


You might think the least, of a Wildebeest
Dust to raise a cloud, stampede in numbers proud
Across the Serengeti, are you set get ready
If trouble comes a brewing, a dust cloud is ensuing


No attention do I seek, said the antelope so meek
Left alone to brose and graze, with a family to raise
With horns upon my head, I’d rather run instead
When it comes to trouble, I’m leaving on the double


To just live life in peace, yet some things never cease
Those enemies wait and hope to seal ones fate
What defenses do you have, dam he’s big and bad
Anonymous you think, when a hippopotamus gets mad
