Harry smiled as he got up in front of his muggle poetry class. It had taken him a whole ten minutes to write the poem, but all his friends had assured him it was brilliant and 'morbid, yet hilarious' He faced the class and read
Mr. Squirrel
Mr. Squirrel, he is my friend.
He will be until the end.
He likes to climb up trees, you see
He brings acorns to you and me
But Mr. Squirrel tried to cross the road
He was chasing a big fat toad
But he didn't get very far
He was hit by a speeding car
Mr. Squirrel is dead now
Met my new friend Mr. Cow!
Mr. Cow
Hello there, meet Mr. Cow
He is my new best friend now
He doesn't move around a lot
He stays in just about the same spot
Mr. Cow is kind of old
He sleeps a lot is what I'm told
But Mr. Cow was taken from me
He went to a meat packing factory
I know Mr. Cow's a winner
He tasted great in my dinner!
Mr. Cow was out of luck,
Meet my new friend, Mr. Duck!
Mr. Duck
Mr. Duck is my bestest bud
I know that he is no dud
He likes to run and splash and play
He swims around all day
But one day Mr. Duck got loose
He got in the way of an angry goose
The goose became very mad
He killed Mr. Duck, it was so sad
To Mr. Duck, I said goodbye
Meet my new friend, Mr. Fly!
Mr. Fly
Everyone, meet Mr. Fly
He likes to zoom up in the sky
He only is able to live for a day
But he's my best friend anyway
While buzzing in a bog
Mr. Fly met Mr. Frog!
Mr. Fly was lunch
I won't miss him much
He didn't do much anyways
He didn't really like to play
Mr. Fly is gone
He didn't live very long
The End
I don't have anymore animal friends
As they all have met their untimely ends
Mr. Duck was beaten
Mr. Fly was eaten
Mr. Squirrel was obliterated
Mr. Cow was marinated
And I bid them all 'adieu'
Maybe I'll be friends with you!
He sat down amid a roar or applause and laughter.
