My favorite hippocrene

hzugman

It took me a long while to get my hippo clean

But in the end he had quite a sheen

I've travelled a lot and much I've seen

And thus the world's my hippocrene

    I chuckled from the top of my clavicle. Wow, how nice clavicle is to say. I gotta put it in a poem. Would a girl appreciate a clavicular compliment? Hmmm. It’ll b tricky subject matter. But back to our hippo which is a horse that hangs in water and generates canals that defray water in a direction different than current. And clean it mean w sheen unafraud that suddenly you’re crushed cuz he sees you looking at a bird that rides him. I’d be nervous and I’d outsource that hippo hygiene to an unsuspecting limerick writing mime.

      Thanx Bobby for the thoughtful analytical comment. And its true that the poem's origin came from a challenge to put hippocrene in a poem. How about a friendly challenge from me to put clavicle in one of yours.? Just sayin/
