The Story Of Harry


Harry wears a pair of thick glasses,
this is because Harry loves to read.

At work in the library he reads books
When he gets home he reads newspapers.

Harry loves to read so much his only wish is that
no one would bother him whenever he reads.

But his wife! Oh his wretched wife!
His yapping, nagging, and screaming wife!

She would not let Harry read.
She always wanted Harry to do chores.

Chores! Chores! Chores!
Harry hates those chores!

"Harry! It's vacuuming day!
Don't just sit there and read, do something!!!"

"Harry! Mow the lawn!'"
"Harry! Take out the garbage!"

"Harry! Harry!! Harry!!!
Why aren't you answering me, Harry?

And poor Harry does not have time to read.
Poor Harry is always doing some chores...

Kind neighbour Mr. Smith shook his head,
"No! No! Harry, you should do no more.

"Oh! What to do? What to do?
What should I do?" asked poor Harry.

"Your big fat wife is too big a load
on your shoulders for you to carry.

But if she's dead,
You will have no worries."

"Oh! She's strong, she's strong!
How can anything go wrong?"

So together Harry and Smith
both sat up all night long.

On their beds they thought of their plots
on how to murder Harry's wife, Blotz.

The following morning was a wonderful day.
Harry woke up with a smile on his face.

He went downtown for morning tea,
When finished, he went on a shopping spree.

He bought his Blotz a brand new jacket,
a hot new item, off the shop's racket.

It was a coat, made of Leopard's skin
Blotz would love to hold it, next to her chin.

Behold! It looked so nice on Blotz!
She was happy with what she's got.

"Oh Harry! You're so sweet!
What do you want in return for your treat?"

"Oh! Nothing...nothing at all my honey dip!
I just wanted to go on a fishing trip."

"Okay, your wish is granted, you may go!
But throw out the garbage before it over-flows."

"Yes, dear!...I will take out the garbage,
on my way out to the cottage."

On the following dawn at day break's arrival
Harry took along his fishing rod, and his rifle.

Off to the cottage he went to fish.
so happy that he had gotten his wish.

But he did not take out the trash!
for he was gone, out the door in a flash!

Along the way, Harry climbed up a tree.
He watched the path along the way very carefully.

Blotz woke to find the garbage bin, she screamed!
She thought it was all from her, a bad dream.

"W-h-y?! Harry! Harry!! Harry!!!
W-h-y have you left the garbage for me?"

It was still dark, but Blotz would not budge,
she ran into a rage and became a grudge.

She put on the leopard's skin
Mad!...she kicked the garbage bin!

"Harry! Harry!! Harry!!!"
She lunged at the top of her voice.

"Harry! Harry!! Harry!!!"
You c'mon out! So I don't need to shout!

You must do your chores before you fish,
No chores, no wish, no fish!"

Harry waited up on the tree, and smiled.
He lifted his rifle, aimed, and as happy as a child.

As Blotz came closer, he fired his shots
at the animal with the leopard's spots.

Down Blotz went, face up, surprised,
to see Harry's smiles of despise.

"Sweet dreams, my dear Blotz!
You have just fallen into my plot."

"Harry...Harry...Harry...
Why have you thought of such ill plot?"

"For you're a lazy wife, you sit around all day
while I do the chores."

"and that makes you want to kill me
so you can set yourself free?"

"Yes, dear, dear, sweet!
Heeeheee...Heeeheee!"

Harry smiled, and climbed down the tree,
but as he put his foot down on the ground,
something snapped, and hurt his knee.

Up he went, dangling upside down.
His foot caught in an animal trap. He frowned.

"Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Help! Help!
Harry's voice was now like a puppy's yelp!

"Ha-ha-ha! Harry! Don't you know? You cannot win.
I'm the Queen, and you're my slave! and now you have sinned!

Too b-a-d...I can't help you now, for I'm dying,
I guess there's no use in even trying.

In a few hours the vultures will be here,
and you'll be eaten alive...my dear.

Harry dangled upside down in pain.
He tried to shake away, but it was in vain.

Blotz lay face up, smiling.
wearing her new coat, she's dying.

With her last few breaths, she called out,

"Harry! Harry!! Harry!!!"
Why aren't you answering me, Harry?"

"Harry!...Harry!!...Harry!!!
Are you day dreaming again, Harry?"

Harry jolted awake from his day dreams,
so happy he was back, it seems.

He dutifully took out the garbage,
and then he cooked, and he cleaned.

None of the coats in the downtown stores
could Blotz fit in them anyway...anymore.

But it was always good for Harry to have dreams!
