By Shel Silverstein
The poem is so funny
and amusing that it immediately catches your attention. It gives simple
instructions on how to make a sandwich and everything looks normal up to the
point a hippopotamus is to be added onto the bread, with mayonnaise and an
onion ring. But the idea itself is so original that you start wondering about
such a possibility.
The attitude of the
writer is clearly an optimistic one, his main goal being that of “showing” us
everything could be possible as long as we allow our imagination and creativity
run freely.
If the first ten lines
of the poem tell us what we need to make such a sandwich, without any problem
at all, the last two ones, however, do admit that there might be something to
cause us difficulties – the biting of the sandwich.
I find this poem very entertaining and I would recommend it
to people of all ages. It is, without any doubt, the kind of poem that you will
easily remember as it is funny, imaginative and has a simple rhyming.
