Do you like poems by Ogden Nash? I found this one on Kidz Page - http://gardenofsong.com/kidzpage/kids/nash.html Mrs. Djang - Library

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 HIPPOPOTAMUS**

The Tyger By William Blake

Tyger, tyger burning bright In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears And water’d heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see Did he who made the lamb, make thee?

Tyger tiger burning bright In the forests of the night What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
