Mary, Mary, You Look Scary

Mary, Mary,
You look scary
In your new costume-
With your pointed hat,
Your jet-black cat
And your old straw broom!

Bonus questions for students:

What is Mary dressed as?

Can you guess which holiday Mary is celebrating?

Cool poem for kids on Halloween, Cherie. You really should take your poems and put together a children's book. They would love this! Very nicely done. Love, Carolyn
