A poem by Oliver Herford

The Hyppogriff

________________________________________________
Title:     The Hyppogriff
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

Biologists are prone to sniff
At hybrids like the Hyppogriff.
In evolution's plan, they say,
There is no place for such as they.
A horse with wings could not have more
Than two legs, and this beast had four.
Well, I for one am glad to waive
Two of his legs, his wings to save.
I'd even sell my auto--if
I had one--for a Hyppogriff.






[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: Hyppogriff
