Little Marie

Little Marie Is a pretty little girl With baby blue eyes And big, blond curls. She does her homework And reads about Rome. But oh, you should see her When she is at home! She screams and she cries And she yells at her mama. Simple family dinner Often turns into drama About who-gets-what And who-sits-where. And if Marie's not satisfied She pulls her sibling's hair. She kicks what she wants And hits what she will. Rips and tears Her family's phone bill. She breaks dozens of glass With each passing week. And once drowned the family cat; She called it a worthless freak. But if these horrible things Were told to others, They'd just shake their heads And mutter, "Little Marie Wouldn't do such things. She's so sweet To her family she'd bring Happiness and fortune She'd be their dream come true. I do wish she's my little girl, Oh yes, I do!" And then they'd pat her little head And she'd skip away with grace. But they won't be able to see The smirk on her face!
