Mary Had A Little Lamb
Natural
Mary had a little lamb--followed where she ... go. Wherever she went, the lamb followed, but school, uh-uh--teacher said, "Just you Mary, no lamb in school." The lamb waited uphill as the school went on till the school bell rang and Mary ran up to her lamb and reached out but it frolicked the ground. Unpolished making that baa-baa sound. At the lake near the town she scrubbed back to snow vigorish wash although the lamb's coat was a light brown. At home late at night, prayed for a miracle. Dawn's light, a lamb aglow not white as snow but golden. Her face beholden of the Mary who had a little lamb--is glad she can share with Bo Peep her matured golden sheep.
Visual
Mary had a little
lamb, followed where she ... go.
Wherever she went, the
7-lamb followed, but school, uh-uh--
5-teacher said, "Just you
Mary, no lamb in school."
The lamb waited uphill
as the school went on till
7-the school bell rang and Mary
5-ran up to her lamb,
7-and reached out but it frolicked
5-the ground. Unpolished
making that baa-baa sound,
at the lake near the town
she scrubbed back to snow
vigorish wash although
the lamb's coat was a light
brown. At home late at night,
prayed for a miracle.
Dawn's light, a lamb aglow
7-not white as snow but golden.
5-Her face beholden
of the Mary who had
a little lamb--is glad
she can share with Bo Peep
her matured golden sheep.
