H Harpies, Hercules and Hungarians
We
have all heard of the Harpies, the daughters of Thaumas and
Electra who would be very naughty and had
a habit of stealing all the food
of Phineus, the king of Thrace, things like halibut,
herring, hotdogs, haggis, and ham
sandwiches, but few have heard of
Henrietta the Happy Harpie. Horrified by the horrendous
habits of her sisters (the three other Harpies).
Henrietta the harpie hid in the hills and helped humble hobbits
to tie their hobnail boots up and
help hedgehogs to cross the road, and Hoover and trim hedges. Then one day her sisters said
they were having a holiday and
would visit Henrietta at her home in the hills . . . . . .Help
thought Henrietta who knew the hobbits and hedgehogs were hardly
going to be happy so she hatched a plan. She invited Hercules, Homer and Horus to her house.
When
the harbingers of horror and hazardous hazards
arrived at the home of Henrietta the happy Harpie to harass
her she introduced Homer
who said he would read history
for hours and hours to the three Harpies to help. Then Horus
howled from the hut on the
hillside ,
the three harpies do not like Horus because he’s HALF a hawk
and half an Egyptian hieroglyphic and he howls better than they do. Then Hercules
(famous for his fight with the Hydra)
wearing a handmade hat and hoola skirt offered them hot chocolate and hobnobs, apparently Harpies hate hobnobs.
To make matters worse for the three horrible
harpies, a herd of hyena
and a huge
husky started to laugh hysterically
at them, so the three horrid harpies
said our heads hurt we have had enough of this hullaballoo we are heading home to Hampstead Heath.
As
they flew home they were tempted
to harass a group of tourists on holiday at
a hotel and stole all their hamburgers, but even this did not go as
planned as the hotels guests were
Hungarian tourists who set fire
to the three Harpies. After all,
if there is one thing we all know, it is that Hungarians
love a big Hot bowl of Hungarian
Ghoul-Ash……… HA HA HA HA HAH HAH AH haha hh haha hah hah hhah ahahah
ahah ah h haha haha ha hahaha hahahahahaha hahaha
And
the three Horrid Harpies were
never seen again.
The
END

I had no idea that Horus was half Hawk and half Egyptian Hieroglyphic.
ReplyDeleteI'm learning something new from these posts everyday. Who said the interweb is useless...oh,that was me. :)
I think he is. . . .
DeleteI must admit that for this task I am speed data-ering so quite frankly most of what I say is rubbish. By the interweb is indeed a place of knowledge but also rubbish
So, HONESTLY. this was a little HARD to HANDLE for this HUMBLE HOUSEWIFE who was (H)unfamiliar with HARPIES, HERCULES and HUNGARIANS! HAPPY blogging!

Good luck being a minion, I decided it was enough just to post, so I do wish you well as we are starting to reach the point where the stragglers will have to be left to be eaten by huge pointy teethed monsters.
DeleteTaking of which were is the mirror.
Harpies Hate Hobnobs? I have learnt something today ;D And the Horror-pun seemed to induce a lot of Hysterical Ha-Ha-ing...Hurray! (I don't care that it's "i" day now, obviously)
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of Ha Ha Ha-ing but that is only because most readers quietly sit and shake their heads. It is also the reason why I am not a stand up or even a sit down comic.
DeleteIt is true about Harpies and Hobnobs, I think they prefer Ginger Nuts. . . . .
Hilarious! (Love the drawing.)
