Hippo Sandwich
From the book The Tighty-Whitey Spider
If you’re feeling rather hungry
and you really need to eat,
you should try a hippo sandwich;
it’s a satisfying treat.
To prepare a hippo sandwich
with a minimum of fuss
get a loaf of bread, a pickle
and a hippopotamus.
If you do not like the flavor,
don’t be worried, don’t be flustered,
just add hippopotamayonnaise
and hippopotamustard.
