Mary, Mary


Mary saw the midnight sun
crossing the equator
she saw a rabbit on the run
kill an alligator

She wore a hat to protect her head
from the harmful rays of Mars
'they make my hair fall out' she said
'it's not like other stars'

Once she saw a pumpkin tree
growing by a stream
and on it sat a bumble bee
whose hands were brilliant green

She stayed awake for seven weeks
and never once felt weary
and she thought the rest of us were freaks
she really is contrary
