Mary

Mary owns a bakery
So plump and dough boy round
She likes to check out movies
Cause there's no one else around

She drives an old Toyota
That's seen it's better days
The horn has been broken
The radio never plays

Mary has many pets
Two dogs and lots of alley cats
And one used up circus clown
Pees off the porch out back

She likes to take her pets for rides
Sometimes they go downtown
To the city parks where her dogs
Dump upon the ground

Joe was Mary's brother
He died in Vietnam
She has a younger brother
But it's been sometime since he's been around

Once Mary got an offer
To run the library on the green
She procasternated till it was to late
The job was filled by Mr Clean

Mary had a boyfriend
But that was long ago
Now she eats buttered popcorn
And the pounds begin to show

There's a cat purring on her lap
The dogs sleeping by her feet
Just another Sunday morning rising
And that clown gives me the creeps
