Harold
Harold is great,
how does it feel?
Harold is a threat,
to the sad man who can't feel.
Harold feels sad,
ain't no reason to strike,
the world is going mad,
and Harold holds his mind.
Harold has a farm,
sharing is always good,
it makes people feel warm,
he always thinks of the hand he shook.
Harold is not violent,
no way to get a gun,
no satisfaction if you are absent,
Harold can handle being alone.
Harold speaks to himself,
it's a new way to get along,
it's a new friend he shares,
and Harold is getting old.
