Something About Mary!

(Well, St. Patrick's DAy is nearly upon us, so now is the time to start rolling out the limericks. 
I'll try to show one a day until the 17th. One year I went nuts and used all my friends' names 
to make limericks with their names. Here is the one for Mary!

A typically staid lass named Mary
told everyone she’d seen a fairy.
One part she left out
which might cause some doubt:
She’d first drunk a bottle of sherry.

Methinks she saw a leprauchan, Andrea! Of course, after a bottle of sherry who knows what was before her starry eyes. Space exploration and UFOs are also topics for the contest, not just aliens. Anything Out of this World! Love, Carolyn
