One morning Petunia
Opened her door to find
A boy named Harry
Dumbledore had left behind.
"Vernon, come quick!"
She cried with disgust.
"My nephew, it seems,
Has been left in our trust."
"He'll be just like them,
A bloody magical freak!
We can't let that happen
We must keep him weak!"
From that day forward
When he performed a feat
They locked him away
And wouldn't let him eat.
Every day Harry worked,
He slaved and he toiled
Scrubbing the floors
And pots that were soiled.
Then suddenly it happened
Before his birthday
Hundreds of letters
Were coming his way.
Vernon turned purple
And shouted, “Enough!
I promised we would
Put an end to this stuff!"
"They'll never find us,
They'll leave us alone!
"He packed up and headed
For places unknown.
They first tried a hotel
But they were found there.
Soon Vernon and Petunia
Were pulling their hair.
Vernon's face brightened
All lit up in glee,
Petunia, we're headed
Out into the sea!"
So they found an old shack
Where they settled the night
Confident that everything
Would at last be all right.
A/N: Thank you to my beta Arnel.
