Mary Quite Contrary
written by: Courtney Glover
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
(Mary, dear sweet Mary, keeps her secrets well hidden, though)
With pretty little maids all in a row…
Mary, dear sweet Mary… for her behavior was quite strange.
I suspected nefarious deeds. I feared she was rather deranged.
But when I inspected her flowers… oh, my plans I should have changed!
With pretty little maids all in a row…
As I quickly dug in her garden… my utter shock! The horror! Oh no!
I had found her secret, buried (not so deep) in the soil below.
Her fertilizer, in a macabre twist, was in fact corpses, I now know.
With pretty little maids all in a row…
Mary’s beautiful flower garden was, in reality, a horrific mortuary.
My discovery too late, caught in the act. I should have been more wary.
For I became the latest victim. All of eternity, now in her garden, I would tarry.
With pretty little maids all in a row…
