in black ink, center of the page: The 'Potamus lives in the water, and / You can only see his back; / And little birds hop on to it, / Because it's shiny black. / He has a terrible Great Big Mouth, / And he eats loads of hay, / And if I were a little bird / I'd always keep away / If I were a bird I wouldn't be scared; / Because he hasn't claws; / But I know, that I would keep away / From his temedous (sic) jaws.
