Itty Bitty

A pretty girl named Mary Crary
And her sweetheart wanted to marry.
Her daddy said take her
But do not forsake her
When you find that Mary's contrary.

Joyce, the limerick meter was off a little bit in lines 1-2, but I really liked your little story about Mary. Good one! congrats in my contest.

LOL Dear Joyce, This is so clever! If Mary is contrary after she marries, she may soon be just Mary Crary again. Love it! Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
