Hangman: Hippo Version

We know it's a game of guessing
whose name, and when and where
the x crossed eyes will be next
poor George, poor George!
zero chance, negative respect
from the hangman's knee
an eternal team of tree hangers,
uniformed, hawk-like, leisurely
capture any melanin ornament
hawk-like, yet I must admit I felt their 
cold hippo jaw molars crushing my neck 
in thousands of pounds per square inch
then as now, chump change, chump change, 
then as now gotta try anyhow, yes, we must,
cameras first in tow, we too can capture now.
