There’s a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus, in Glenrothemus, made of tin*
A hippopotamus
A hippopotamus
A hippopotamus made of tin
How did it get there? How did it get there? How did it get there?

How did it get there? How did it get there? How did it get there?
Stan Bonnar:
“There was a little hippo
It is a work of environmental art
Environmental cognitive recreativity.”
Isn’t it grand?
Yes. Yes. So grand.

Absolutely Fabulous. Thank you. I’m away to post a link on my website.
Cheers, Stan. Big fan. I even made an album years ago with one of yer hippos on the front cover here: https://www.dailyreckless.com/wemean.htm
Thanks Tommy, I’ve just downloaded your album and will relish listening to it. I was gobsmacked to see your reference to the hippo with “we mean something” painted on it. I’ve begun to write up the narrative of the installation, making, thinking etc. at https://stanbonnar.net/the-disappearing-hippo/ and had not long ago been saying how much those ‘prophetic’ words mean to me personally.
