So here's what I have:
Hippo's morning starts off good,
until friends say, “You should! You should!”
You should prance! You should sing!
Wear this hat! Stretch your wing!
Though Hippo wants to be a friend,
he wonders when the “shoulds” will end.
Hippo and friends will soon find out
that being yourself is what life's about.

Yup. That's what I have.
I thought I'd make the back rhyme too, just to give readers a quick taste of what's inside. :)

I like it, Ginny. Good idea to make it rhyme as a "taster".
