JACK AND MARY
Michelle A. Bartley
04/05/2K

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
What is it I should know?
Can you teach me to plant seeds,
To make my garden grow?
Sometimes I think it is thistle,
That pops up here and there,
That chokes out all the flowers,
Which leaves my garden bare.

Jack Sprat can you tell me,
Why you can not eat fat?
Do the pleasures of your life,
Slip by you, 'just like that',
Mine sometimes get lost within,
The grease that's on the plate,
And often times I'll see them,
But then, it's much too late.

How 'bout you Jack Horner,
While you're playing with your pie,
Do you ever ask yourself,
All the reasons why?
Why do we serve a penance,
Stuffed in the corner of life,
Or is it the joy of finding the plum,
Should take away the strife?

And Mary, if you had a lamb,
That followed you to school,
Why did you not protect him,
When the other's were so cruel?
The lamb he was so innocent,
With fleece as white as snow,
And deep within his friendship,
His love would make you glow.

I guess that Jack be Nimble,
Really knew the trick,
For he did not burn himself,
Jumping o'er that candlestick,
But me it seems, if I play with fire,
I have to jump so high,
So I don't just go up in flames,
And watch my spirit die.
