Recipe for a Hippopotamus Sandwich

Shel Silverstein

A hippo sandwich is easy to make.

All you do is simply take

One slice of bread,

One slice of cake,

Some mayonnaise

One onion ring,

One hippopotamus

One piece of string,

A dash of pepper —

That ought to do it.

And now comes the problem…

Biting into it!
