The Happy Hoparoo (A nonsense rhyme)

Last week I promised a bit more nonsense among the serious material on this site: here it is. Our grandchildren love it especially when the last two lines are said with the palm of the hand squashed over the nose (Just lovely to hear little ones giggle at this!). We have got a tune for it and you can see it sung in the video below

The Happy Hoparoo
Hi! Hi! Hi! It’s the happy Hoparoo

Who can leap upon its single foot

Right up into the blue;

The blue, blue, blue of the sky, high, sky

And land on its nose

In black and blueberry pie.

The Happy Hoparoo

Took a day beside the sea,

And hopped into the waves

Until they lapped above his knee.

He took a great big leap,

But the water held him back:

So he landed with a belly flop

that made a mighty –SPLAT!

Hope the children you know get as much enjoyment out of this as our grandchildren have.
