I live in the country, and I hate this time of year.
Late January.
Parents who have gotten their children hippopotamuses for Christmas start thinking that maybe, maybe they want to park their cars in their garages again or maybe they’re tired of the zoolomasseuse bills, but they start bringing them out in the country and leaving them alongside the highway.
People, hippopotamuses are not native to the Ozarks, and they have not evolved to survive on the local flora.
I just shake my head when I see one lying beside the road, and it makes for dangerous driving if they topple into the roadway.
Freeing the hippopotamus that your child wheedled you into for Christmas is not humane. It is not right. Think before you buy based on one silly little holiday ditty.
Thank you, that is all.
