Photographic evidence of HarryHarry’s extracurricular activities
Chapter 3
There is also a snapshot of Harry’s room,
2When he was about twelve,
3Which maybe explains why it’s so messy,
4Although it doesn’t quite explain the poster of a bimbo with a staple in her navel,
5Except that Harry must have been precocious,
6As we might have guessed.
7And does it really matter that he didn’t make his bed,
8Or put his dirty clothes in the hamper,
9Or take the dirty plates and glasses off his desk,
10Or pick that moldy pizza off his rug,
11Or empty his ashtray,
12Or turn off his TV,
13Or hang up his phone,
14Or deposit that wad of bills in the bank?
15And does it matter that he is sitting there,
16In the middle of the mess,
17aGiving us the finger?
18bAfter all, he was only a boy,
19cAnd his parents didn’t seem to mind,
20So why should we care,
21dAnd what business is it of ours anyway?
