Mary Mary

how does her garden grow?

Mary Mary
quite contrary,
what is your
bossy garden
worth?

We know
you are Chris-
stain by your
love, but also
by birth.

Your poetry
withers
on the vine
fertilized with
soil from others' turf.

Author's Note

Despite its deceptive feel, this song is far from romantic

Take it i missed this one. Though chancers are always kicking around the sites.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha this is an historical piece.

I got this poem in a read request a few years ago, but also noticed you updated it this past Jan17... I am sorry I missed this back then but glad I finally am going through my read requests...

anyway, I cannot add to what has already been said about the ahole Chris-stain and your brilliant and bitting rebuke of his all too ugly bs and using a children's nursery rhyme to do it, marvelous.. so you Lyn and so damn enjoyable...

Thank you so much

[Baby Ricochet]

I remember that mess. Good one

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. Yes, this id is still open.

[Bright Ocean Star]

I like how you twisted a children's rhyme into a sharp commentary on a twisted individual. Very nice write, KLG!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. This id is still open. I blocked it myself.

[Fran Marie]

Geez , is he back again...another id ...I see what you mean..a cleverly penned piece, the flowers will probably lean towards the crooked side of the garden as usual

[Lyn Anderson]

This id never left. He has been in and out and snooping around, but I think he is just bored not able to use his real name in here.

[Caradoc]

What a clever stab. I like this one.

Thanks, I am still frustrated that the fiend's IP is not blocked, and unfortunately he has moved on to other poetry sites.

I missed all the upheaval but I did enjoy your poem. You say what you want so well.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, you are lucky, I guess, as long as he isn't posting your poems on some other site ...

[icelandicblue]

I did look but found nothing...I guess I didn't make the cut. He always always creeped me out.
