HARRY AND JENNA


Jenna was gentle And nervous and shy, Untrusting of strangers Especially guys, That's why the news Came as such a surprise, The grief stricken panic That look in her eyes, Fooled by a fellow In a friendly disguise, Diving head first In a pool filled with lies, Harry was handsome In his own sort of way, Clean-cut and clever In words he would say, The man appeared modest And honest and kind, All part of the plan He had hatched in his mind, It wasn't a whirlwind But still happened fast, A few months engaged 'Til they married at last, Honeymoon happy Still riding the high, "Hey Baby, sign here..." She signed on the line, Untroubled by finance And trusting in love, That notarized paper Was more than enough, He filed for divorce But she had no clue, Her house was now his Her savings were too, Now Harry's back out there He's hunting again, He might hit on you If you're wanting a friend, Don't jump into something That's just paper thin, 'Cause I might be Harry And you could be Jen.
