Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Quite Contrary Mary

The thing about Mary that was extraordinary Was her parents on her pulled a fast one. They gave her a first name, multiplied it by two, But neglected a middle and last one. And so Mary Mary was deemed quite contrary, But, oh, what a green thumb had she. Though she didn't grow okra, Tomatoes, or peas, Or cucumbers, parsnips, Or beets, if you please, Her strange garden plot Was as full as could be. She diligently toiled With spade, rake, and hoe Planting silver bells, cockleshells, And pretty maids in a row. All the townsfolk agreed Mary's skills were incredible, But it was a community garden, And they would have preferred she Grow something more edible.
