Crates N Skates Poem by Judy Ponceby

Hippos in crates
On roller skates
Crashing through
the rickety gates.

Crashing and bashing.
Oooooooh, how Smashing!
Rolling about
Their teeth a-flashing!

Running a-muck!
Watch out for the duck.
Open the doors!
Back up the truck!

Zipping up the ramp
Like any old champ.
There they go!
Don't forget their stamp.

Crates in the mail!
Delivered without fail.
Those Hippos on skates
Lurching down the trail.
