"Hippo Opera"



200 x200 mm
Oil on Board
"Hippo 1"


Alt title,
"Horatio Hippotameus, being unused to this end of the river stepped on a rough stone."

"The Hippo had been given one last chance to reach the high note on 'Idols'."

"Mum, Where's me dinner?"

Although great looking animals, it is not true that Hippos make good family pets. The expense of keeping them far outways the cost of relining the pool to allow for a constant flow of weed and detriment from up stream of your home.
Their sleeping habits are far from normally acceptable standards. Prior to sleep they go from room to room stamping on open fires to ensure that they are completely doused.
Prefering to cuddle to the friends, they do however provide desperately needed warmth during the cold winter season. Hippos should be toweled off prior to allowing them to get onto the bed.
Domestic hippos should be ado[pted from the youngest possible age.
The auther prefers sugar hippos to sugar mice. They tend to last longer, especially the pink parts.
Cheers folks.
