some hippo doggerel in honor of poetry month

[moominmolly]

Apparently there's a pub called Boynton's, which made ukelele think of Sandra Boynton and hippos, and seed me with the line: "One hippo, all alone / Drinks by itself at the end of the bar." Naturally, I had to finish it off, so I present you with the following idle fruits of my afternoon

I am utterly unable to decide if this is more awesome or terrible :)

[moominmolly]

That means I win!

[dancingwolfgrrl]

I figured you would think so :)

Also, bonus points for working fixies into a poem about hippos!

[moominmolly]

Thank you! I was proud. Originally the fixies were Vespas, but this is clearly superior.

Man, yeah, that *does* have structural issues, doesn't it? Like that guy who lost three hundred fifty ish pounds riding bicycles. (http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s1-1-323-21443-1,00.html . The first two bikes he sat on, broke. I'm in awe of the guy.)

Wow. Good on him!

[moominmolly]

I had originally felt pretty good about working in english, too, but perhaps it just sounds like they speak a foreign dialect of Hipponese! Hm.

It's Terribly Awesome! (hat tip to Saki)
