A Novel Ending

  
   Harry Potter owned an otter
      He took it out to play 
   The otter donned his darkest shades
      He’d been in the casino all day

   The otter silent, Harry said 
     ‘What’s the matter?’
      No reply ever came ~ 
    Seems the poor otter was slaughtered

aww...poor otter! :-)) Reminds me of about 25 years ago when I was reading Ol' Yeller, and I dreaded getting to the end.

so funny, looks to me literature for kids, but sometimes, it is for following generations too, bravo poet
