Follow me, follow

I think I've lost a bit of weight,  

I really need some scales.

I got into a rare old state

As big as hump-backed whales.

I was a hippopotamus;

So large and fat and strong,

But then I realized the fuss

Was that my life was wrong.

So now I try and walk a bit

And drink the H2O,

I'm slowly getting much more fit

And shapely, don't you know!

My smile is broad and sunny

And my mind is sharper, too,

I'm a happy little bunny,

Not a hippo or a moo.

So when my clothes drop off me

And crumple on the ground,

I'll dance around in naked glee;

And be slim instead of round.
