I Hate Henry.........

[trinkie]

Oh I've grown to hate Henry. Once recommended to me by a friend, some friend!

It started like this - Another dear old friend, a trusted, tried and tested vacuum cleaner, was beginning to slow up. In words it had lost it's sook. After over twenty years of good and faithful service I now had to think of getting a replacement.
Over coffee, I mentioned this to a friend who said "Get a Henry."
Well, I did. Of course, my old sookless friend had been put to rest with the greatest of respect.

The problem with Henry is that he never stops smiling - laughing - at me. As I huff and puff around the house from time to time, there he is clad in a bright red suit and wearing a Bowler Hat - I ASK YOU - why a hat?? He is too heavy for me to drag upstairs and I keep tripping over him. Am I to be stuck with Henry for ever? At the moment he is stuck at the back of a cupboard as I dread taking him out to clean. But there comes a time.

Okay I'll go and give him one more chance......

Paint him Shocking Pink and put sticker of pretty little flowers all over him. That should take the silly smirk off his face!

You could always get another and do the same with it.

Then you could impress your friends by talking about your "Upstairs Maid" and your "Downstairs Maid".
(I'm not being sexist, but I dread to think of the stories if Silver Darlings refered to them as her "Upstairs Man" etc.)

Silver darling, you should see Henry's big brother George he is a wet & dry machine and has an even bigger grin [disgust]

I exiled Henry some years ago..did n't vacuum properly, cudn't stand his inane grin so sent him to the recycle bin. Oh dear is that the microwave smiling at me? [lol]

[trinkie]

MMMmmmmmmmm..........

To Golach's George both dry and wet
I give a NO and yet and yet

Madpict's mad picture - how's that done?
It made me laugh twas such great fun

But Jaw's idea has made me think
To smother old Henry in shades of Pink
Would surely make the rafters ring
Have you ever seen such a funny thing?
But then dear Henry it's off to bed
I've made a spot for you in the shed

And on this subject the word's now HUSH
Cos I'm going back to the dustpan and brush

But carry on laughing Mr P.C.
The joke I think is surely on me !

Well Silver Darlings good luck with your brush and pan,
That should make Henry a very happy man.
To the shed he's been retired,
Now over carpets he'll not get fired.
Quietly he'll sit and grin and gather dust,
Whilst you and I the chores the hard way must.
