Couldn't help myself; I had a good laugh. Thought others might like one also.

The Hero

Mental hospitals are not immune to strange things every day.
But patient Harold, became a hero in a special kinda way,

His old man room mate Harry, in the bath tub, tried to drown,
Luckily Harold came rushing in, when he heard the sound,,

Suicide is sometimes common, but Harry’s life was spared,
Harold was given the manager’s thanks and a special award prepared,

When the dinner was all over, then the Manager had his say,
Your heroic behavior means you’re going home today,

I’m Sorry to inform you , that your room mate Harry died,
With a rope tied around his neck , he committed suicide,

Harold said “No sir, Mister Manager, that’s not the reason why,
Harry didn’t kill himself, I just hung him up to dry!

I thought you were going to pull a twister on me. After all, Harry is the nickname for Harold, isn't it? But this one was cool and clearly showed why Harry was not in his right mind though he was doing a good deed by hanging Harold up to dry..



A couple of months ago a very good humorous poet left us to take a hiatus. He was missed greatly until you came back and put the spark of laughter back in all of these somber poems people post every day. Hallelujah! It's a miracle!

Oh, no! He saved him and then he hung him.
