Huggable Hannibal

Here’s the sad thing about Huggable Hannibal,
He was raised by a tribe of botanical cannibals.

Hannibal’s arms were as long as two pythons.
To stop them from wiggling he tied them beside him.

He smiled through a beard, like a lush sheepskin rug.
But, Hannibal was sad, with no one to hug.

If only his arms were shorter and neater.
He once held a girl, but she feared he would eat her.

Hannibal loved chocolate, ice cream and pies.
It was only his friends that ate toenails and eyes.

So if you know of someone who needs a big squeeze.
Huggable Hannibal would be so keen to please.
