The Kindle, 1950s style
Here’s a little song for you on this grey winter’s day. Please sing loudly to the chorus from The Hippopotamus Song.’ You know the one… It goes: Mud, Mud, glorious mud…
Books, books, glorious books
Nothing quite like them for feeding our nuts
So follow me, follow,
To a library tomorrow
Where we can borrow
Some glorious books!
Yes, I will keep taking the tablets…
The Hippopotamus Song by Michael Flanders (1922 -1975) taken from The Nation’s Favourite Comic Poems (BBC)
