People Underestimate Mary's Burden

by Ogden


Mary had thirteen little lambs;
(In truth, it wasn’t only one.)
Kids made fun when they followed her.
Too many lambs are never fun.

Too many lambs are never fun.
After school they were problems, too:
(Read line four, and I’ll tell you more)
A return trip to mama ewe.

This poem needs another stanza.
Had I known, I’d not have begun.
(That’s exactly how Mary felt.)
Too many lambs are never fun.
