The Mom I Want to Be

There’s a Hippo in my Tub

 

There’s a hippo in my tub singing in the shower.

She’s having such a jolly time she’ll be in there at least an hour.

The bathrooms filled with bubbles so that I can barely see

but I’m sure there’s a hippo in my and there’s no room left for me.

 

I guess your wondering why I’m here outside the bathroom door.

I know I’m still as dirty as can be

but peeking through the bubbles I blink my eyes to see

to see that peeking through the bubbles two eyes blink back at me.

 

There’s a penguin in my tub wearing a tuxedo.

he’s swimming under water cause he thinks he’s a torpedo.

The waters full of icebergs and frosty as can be

and I’ m sure there’s a penguin in that tub and its just to cold for me.

There’s a Crocodile in my tub lounging in the water

He’s asking me to join him – but I don’t think that I ought to

He ate the soap and sponge and swallowed them with glee

and I’m sure there’s a Crocodile in my tub look he making room for me.
