[I]thx for coming to my blog, kind poster. a couple words about this poem.
it may bring you lots of joy if you read it right, but if you don't you will miss all of its meaning.
it must be sung, half to the tune of "Horace Wimp" by ELO but more importantly to the tune of "A Day in the Life", as it beings "....ten thousand holes in Blackburne, Lancashire...." "he had Lennon's poster on the wall..."
-so only if you read it like this will it make any sense, and then of course have fun and do what you will with it.
thx![/I]
Horace Wimp was but a man,
He never needed anything at all;
He had a house, he used his hands,
He had Lennon's poster on the wall.
His days were full, and being glad
There wasn't much he wished would go away,
He loved the night, he was not sad,
And happily he passed his days.
He was a painter, he was rich,
He never really had to work at all.
He'd paint all day, and if he wished,
He'd stare at the poster on the wall.
But one day Horace met a girl,
"She was small and she was very pretty,"
He felt he'd known her longer than his life.
And soon he loved her more than all the world,
Maybe someday she would be his wife.
There wedding day, it came and went.
"Everybody's at the church, when Horace rushes in
and says 'now here comes my wife,
for the rest of my life,'
and she did,"
So Horace was in love,
And as he gave all to love,
He really felt for the first time,
He felt his first true love,
And he did.

Horace Wimp lyrics - ELO
[I]Monday:
Late again, today,
He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
He'd have to hurry out to the bus.
Tuesday:
Horace was so sad,
He'd never had a girl that he could care for
And if he was late once more, he'd be out.
CHORUS:
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said -
"Horace Wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."
Wednesday:
Horace met a girl,
She was small and she was very pretty,
He thought he was in love, he was afraid.
Thursday:
Asks her for a date,
The cafe down the street tomorrow evening,
His head was reeling, when she said "Yes O.K."
CHORUS
Friday:
Horace, this is it,
He asks the girl if maybe they could marry,
When she says "gladly." Horace cries.
Sunday:
Everybody's at the church,
When Horace rushes in and says
"Now here come my wife, for the rest of my life." and she did.
CHORUS
[/I]
