Mary's Lamb

 

Mary had a little lamb -

Pure, not a sinner.
Mary was a naughty girl.
She ate it for her dinner!

*****
Mary had a little lamb,
It was something of a glutton.
She named it after Sam.
Sam the Lamb didn't give a damn
As long as it wasn't  called "Mutton".

*****
Mary had a little lamb,
It’s fleece as black as paint.
Mary ate the little lamb -
And now it ain’t !

*****
Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece as black as soot
And every where that Mary went
His sooty foot he put!
