Question: I found this doggerel on my hard drive -- care to rate!?
I wrote this a reeeeeelly long time ago

I have a hippocampus in my head
I shan't smoke pot; I fear to do it
For if my hippocampus shrinks I dread
That none of the hippos will fit into it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you can improve on it - 'pot' and hippopotamus have a link!. The last line of such short poems is the place to be really clever!. I think it has pots of potential!.
I have experimented a little - first thoughts - alliteration - maybe a tongue-twister!.

For if my hippocampus shrinks I dread
To think my hippopotami might hop it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
