I want a tiny hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a tiny hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like tiny hippopotamuses
And tiny hippopotamuses like me too

I had a yellow hippo bank as a kid. Unfortunately it was destroyed when someone broke into the house. I have always search for a fun replacement. I think maybe I will have to knit one as a cozy over a pig one. I love it…
