Mary of Berry

Mary of Berry was wary.
Deceived by a man who would lie.
Disliking men that were hairy,
also, most men wearing a tie.

She had her fill of directions,
from anyone telling the time,
men prodding her with discretions,
or drinking their vodka with lime.

A delightfully witty verse that also contains a lot of truth. If I were Mary, I would be wary. Especially of those who prod "with discretions" while "drinking their vodka with lime." Great write, Bill! Very enjoyable read. Love, Carolyn
