Best Friends
Jill Johnson 1961 (Pocatello, Idaho)
Hippo and the Dodo were two peas in a pod
They were best friends, though it seemed rather odd
They loved the same music, and movies, and food
They loved their parents and showed gratitude
Though hippo was large and Dodo quite small
It didn’t seem to bother them any at all
Hippo would carry Dodo on his large flat head
And Dodo would sing to Hippo in bed
Oh, what a friendship, oh, what a treat
People would cheer when they walked down the street
Though few understood it, even fewer complained
For theirs was a friendship that one could
