harry jones was a haberdasher
and a good one at that
some said he was thin
and some said he was fat
some said he was a family man
and quiet evenings at home enjoyed
others that he liked his drink
and played poker with the boys
some said he was a democrat
others a republican true
harry said it didn’t matter
how about you?
some thought harry had a secret
and wrote the great american novel in his sleep
others were more circumspect
and did not think he was so deep
some folks said that harry
was descended from the kings of spain
when he was asked about it
he winked, and winked again
just who harry really was
remains a mystery
one thing you can say for sure -
all he wanted was to be free
