I Hate it when this Happens

Grrrrrr for the last two days I can’t get the song outta my head.
Is it the Halleluiah chorus from Handle’s Messiah….no !
Perhaps Leaving on a Jet plane from Peter, Paul & Mary ….I only wish.
Stuck in my mind is TELUS’s commercial song “ I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”
Day & night the tune haunts me.
I wake up with it on my mind & find myself singing it all-day (to myself, thank goodness)


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like….. hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
