Miss Mary Loon

Mary's just a little girl;

Mary really wants a friend.

Her whole life has been a whirl,

a tornado without end.

Tossed between her parents quickly,

after they divorced so soon,

life has always been quite tricky

for little Miss Mary Loon.

Suitcase never quite unpacked

while she walks along in life.

At her father's home she's whacked

and her mother's full of strife.

Mary grew up very poorly,

never really had a home.

After waking up she sorely

decided that she should roam.

Miss Mary Loon packed up her bags,

now a lonely eighteen years.

Dressed only in her mother's rags,

Mary Loon faced all her fears.

Many problems she encountered there,

in a life that's split in two.

Back home her mother lost her hair,

and her father started chew.

Now she wanders lonely bars,

looking for a home in sight.

A man she finds, and all the scars

will be reopened that night.

Miss Mary Loon married that man,

begrudgingly and sad.

Thought it was never in the plan,

he soon would be a dad.

The baby turned out just to be

a girl all her own.

But after many fights, you see,

Mary had a new home.

Now that girl's thrown between

her father and her mom.

And by the time that she's a teen,

she's just a ticking bomb.

Mary watches her crying now

and to her daughter beckoned.

That was a telling moment how

it was Mary the Second.

The cycle repeated much more

and now the tale is heard

of why she wanders lonely bars:

Miss Mary Loon the Third.

Author's Note

The terrible, unbreakable cycle.

[Willard Wells]

"Much problems she encountered there" to "Many problems she encountered there". Very vell penned piece and history does repeat itself and so often what we try to run from is so ingrained in us that we repeat the cycle.
