Kaleidoscope: Carnivorous Hippopotamus

Carnivorous Hippopotamus

A carnivorous hippopotamus

I hope I never meet one

But if I did

I'd chop off it's head

And I'd be the first to eat one

Foobobble the Absurd said...: It was my exceedingly feeble attempt to imitate Hillaire Belloc, like in his poem The Rhinocerous:

Rhinoceros, your hide looks all undone,

You do not take my fancy in the least:

You have a horn where other brutes have none:

Rhinoceros, you are an ugly beast.; April 1, 2011 at 10:12 AM

This Blog is a collaboration of those lazy in writing, but active in imagination. We are a wanna-be rockstar, a wanna-be monk, a wanna-be camel herder, and a wanna-be theologian--all currently warming our cubicles and pushing papers. As an effort to resist the vapid lull of the office chair, we have decided to let the world in on our magical internal landscapes in a kaleidoscope of thoughts--compiled together in poetry, essay, short story, flash fiction, graphic fiction, and maybe even an Epic or two. Happy trails, reader.
