How to Analyze Poetry A hippo is bounding around on my head. Gorillas are banging on drums. A rhino is charging me full speed ahead while a crocodile's eyeing my thumbs. A rattlesnake's winding his way up my side. A tiger is sniffing my clothes. A grizzly just grabbed me, his mouth open wide. A tarantula's perched on my nose. I'm drowning, surrounded by man- eating sharks. An elephant sits on my chest. Yes, that's how it feels when the teacher remarks, "Grab your pencils. It's time for the test.“ --Kenn Nesbitt A Hippo is Bounding Around on My Head Presentation created by: Brianne Jacobs
