but I think you shouldn't miss this Gem, that's why I translated it:
Outside Snowflakes were whirling around
and inside the hippo was yawning aloud
As soon as it went to bed, nice and clean,
it started to have a christmas dream
'Not so fast, I need to put on the PJs, the one with the ducks'
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031206.html
Santa claus spoke: 'whoever may hear,
I have to tell you, have no fear,
I cannot come around around this year!
You hear, Christmas is in Danger!
'How long do these experiments take?' '28th of December'
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031207.html
The Hippo sprang up, as if hit by lightning
and froze, for through the windows widening,
snow fell cold into the house.
And it cried out:
'Then I need to be Santa Claus!
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031208.html
Time was short, and a lot to be done
that's why the duvet got undone,
and the hippo started wrapping gifts
and bake cookies in the kitchen.
'All of that would be so much easier, if I had thumbs!'
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031209.html
Presents and Cookies finally in his sack,
the hippo glanced in the mirror and back.
The head looked good and was nice and warm,
thus it went out in the cold, safe from harm.
'I wear a hat!'
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031210.html
No reindeer or sleigh were in sight,
but that wouldn't stop the flight.
A nice song for courage was sung,
and a stick of dynamite up the bum.
www.nichtlustig.de/html/031211.html
Thus it flew from roof to roof,
and delivered the presents with a loud 'poof'.
To all the nice children of Christian kind,
but not to those of hindus, muslims and
buddhists, mind.
