There once was a lady named Mary,
who was extraordinary.
She could knit with her thumbs,
while her feet played the drums.
This kept her from being contrary.

My sister Mary was contrary
She met a nice fellow named Harry
He tried, without a doubt
But she would not put out
Virgin Mary will never marry.

Let me tell you about my day...
Maybe it was as light as air;
Not too rough, not too contrary-

Pop that cork, it's time for champagne!

Those who were laughing thought it a tease.
The butt of the joke though felt ill at ease.
It was banter to them,
but he felt condemned
and bullied, though contrary their pleas.
