Modern Romance

My hippo has a stomachache

From eating ALL the birthday cake

It was his 7th birthday, yes,

But what's with all this greediness?

Hungry hippo, don't you care?

Your friends would like it if you'd share

Now look at all your sad-faced guests

Dressed to celebrate in their best vests

They came for cake and pleasantries

Now all that's left is crumbs and fleas

I guarantee that's the last the zoo

Ever throws a birthday bash for you.
