Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb (Stan)

woolly and grown–what to do?

Mary had a delicious plan

to turn him into lamb stew.

For Stan this was not good

nor for his future generations.

He wanted to do all he could

but Mary had so little patience. 

As he entered the pot

he said “This ain’t my fault.” 

Mary told him, “Your life it’s not.

“You need more salt.” 

Mary ate her lamb dinner

with a glass of wine.

She thought she was not a sinner

given dinner tasted so fine.    

Mary owned the lamb–

that gave her the right.

She did not think herself damned

until Stan’s ghost visited one night.
