Encouraging Mondays...

Poetry to tickle your funny bone
by Ogden Nash.


THE HIPPOPOTAMUS

Behold the hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us,
And yet in moments dank and grim,
I wonder how we look to him.
Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us,
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.


THE TERMITE

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good,
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.


THE FLY

God in his wisdom made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.



Happy Monday!
