The Hat

The solution

 

Henrietta Hippopotamus bought a new hat

But when she tried to wear it

It slipped this way and that

Cuz her head was just too fat

 

She went to the store manager

With her hat complaint

Asking, “Are they going to make it fit?”

He answered, “Oh no they aint!”

 

Her mouth opened wide as could

And swallowed that poor man down

Then she threw the hat away

And bought a nice new gown

 

 

 

Author's Note

it didn't fit either

Yikes! I didn't know fashion could be so dangerous! I guess she bought the gown from a sail-maker?

[john l smith]

yes, quite likely, or from a parachutist??
Thanks for visit

Nice bit of humour on a dull morning - next time she should try a onesie ... :-)

[john l smith]

at first I thought your finger had slipped off a key, then I consulted my crutch, Google, and found that there was indeed a onesie out there
Thanks for the informational review

I pity Henry Hippo, who would have been taking his life in his hands, when asked "does my bum look big in this?" There would be no safe answer :)

[john l smith]

It could be a marital dilema
Indeed, what does a hippo with an enlarged derrier wear
Whatever, I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for your extremely insightful commentary

Me oh my, what a messed up guy.
Perhaps if she weren't so fat
the gown would've fit, better than the hat.

Sorry - I tried - take care - Dave

[john l smith]

And a good try it was

I try - wife says that at times I'm very trying.

Take care - Dave

[john l smith]

A reality check??

[Dave]

Well - you know - wives are like that.

Take care - Dave
