a poem from 'Refusal of care'

[Noora]

In 'Refusal of care' when Susan said the poem to Cosmo on the phone it was very cute, wasn't it?
WELL if anyone had that poem I'd be more than happy if you posted it here (or gave me a link where to find it)
The name was something like 'Hippo's go berserk' but I couldn't find the poem by googling.

I've been looking for this poem for a VERY long time (aka since the episode aired in Finland) and I'm desperate to find it.

- NNNNNNN

If I remember right, it is actually a book called 'Hippos go Berserk' by Sandra Boynton. It's a little kids book. I don't have a copy, I tried to look it up, but only came up with bits and pieces. Maybe you will have better luck. I used Dogpile.com to search.

I found this and it is from someone who memorized it I don't know how correct it is.

One hippo all alone
Calls two hippos on the phone
Three hippos at the door
Bring along another four
Five hippos come overdressed
Six hippos show up with a guest
Seven hippos arrive in a sack
Eight hippos sneak in the back
Nine hippos come to work
All the hippos go berserk!
All through the hippo night, hippos play with great delight
But at the hippo break of day, all hippos must go away
Nine hippos and a beast (the beast was the guest)
Join eight hippos riding east (in a blue bus)
Seven hippos moving west (in a western wagon)
Leave six hippos quite distressed (not clear how they get home)
Five hippos then set forth
With four hippos headed north (in a red helicopter)
Three hippos say good day
The last two hippos go their way
One hippo alone once more
Misses the other forty four

I hope that helps.

Your welcome. I tend to use Dogpile as my search engine, because it finds more stuff. If I can't find it with Google I usually can with Dogpile.
