about

Satire, perhaps hiding the strongest of human emotions - Pride!
Poem by Gavin Ewart, who approved this performance of his poem.

lyrics

The learned hippopotamus
Uses long words like "dichotomous"
If they don't exist, he makes them up.
The true scholars and the high-brows
Raise their supercilious eyebrows
But he blows bubbles at them all.
Glug, glug and glug!
