No, No, No

Mary, Mary, quite contrary said no too many times. The boyfriend did cry foul, and left her standing in her prime. But that’s OK I tell you, he wasn’t the right man to make a team. And she was looking for true love, that illusive, lovely dream. The important thing to remember is what this means to you. Waiting can make sure that true love, is really, really true.

I like the way you are thinking, nice rhymes, there's something arkward with the flow I think it might just be too many syllables in line 2. Well written

Very nice work, Carol...I like the whole thing, but a little greater emphasis in the last line might be achieved by ending it "is really really true." And the meter seems a little improved with the repetition. Good work.
