The Harold



There once lived a Harold
That made his mother life harried
His father was sorry he got married
because they ended up with Harold
Harold would talk endlessly about nothing
he would walk in circles and jump
His sister's in thearpy for years now
hoping that Harold is gone
But whoe is she for Harold lives and is in good health.
Harold is known in many countries
some call him Harry some call him scary
But we like to think
that a world without Harold is very
narrow.
