Mary, Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
Ella, Ella, writing your novella,
How does your garden grow?
With iron ink and extreme hijinks,
And stale cliches all in a row.
Lily, Lily, very silly,
How does your garden grow?
With big red noses and squirting roses,
And grinning clowns all in a row
Violet, Violet, what a pilot,
How does your garden grow?
With parachutes and long commutes,
And golden wings all in a row.
Written for dVerse's 10 Year Anniversary!
