Happy Harry the Hit Man

Happy Harry the Hit Man

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

In the land of the Gangsters

"
Happy Harry the hit man
Was strolling in the park one day
He had his three thousand dollar fee
To gun down a fool like me

But I was coy and shy
I spit mud in his eyes
His eyes got so bloodshot
He could not see I had my bullet proof vest on

That day no one was going to hit me
I was not the bull eyes Happy Harry
Thought I would be
I carried my pride on my shoulder

My heart grew large in my breast
I had on my bullet proof vest
There wasn't going to be a whole in my chest
I was a person Happy Harry would miss

He would have to strike me off of his list
For I was in my prime 
Happy Harry should be doing time
You know what he was trying to do to me was a crime

I just wanted to teach him a lesson
That I wanted to live to collect on my pension
Live happily in my old age
With Grand Kids and my daughters who love me

But me and Happy Harry didn't see eye to eye
As a lawman I know that was no surprise
Old Harry was on the outside of the Law
and I was paid to stop any criminal actions

Now Happy Harry was public Enemy number one
he thought he could out run me and have his fun
There was a time I was out gunned
But by now we evened the score

No room the amateur in this fight
I blow to the head
and life is over and your under the ground
But I would rather stick around

To see Happy Harry in Sing Sing
Would make my grin so wide
that you got Happy Harry off the streets
And All Law Men can get some sleep
