A hippo sandwich is easy to make all you do is simply take.
One slice of break,
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…
Blighting into it
– Shel Silverstein

The reason I chose this poem is that in 5th grade we had to memorize a poem for English class and recite it. I chose this poem and this year my little sister chose the same poem. It’s a funny poem and I love it.
