Nursery Rhyme

 
Mary goes around  
the chicken coop  
picking eggs  
picking eggs  
puts the first one in a keg  
and the second in a bag  
if the third smells like nutmeg  
throw away that egg  
throw that egg away  
put away  
put away  
put away  
before it turns grey  
this is not a gag  
give the forth egg to a hag  
write all this in a tag  
and just pick another egg  
don't worry about the hen  
she can run  
she can fly  
she can run  
in the wind like a flag  
very proud not to drag  
Mary picks the fifth egg  
be quiet and don't brag  
breaks the shell  
there's a chick  
go on Mary  
go on and pick  
Mary goes around  
the chicken coop  
but she has no egg to pick  
so she leaves  
the empty basket  
ties her corset  
puts on her boots  
and the helmet  
climbs up to  
riding her rooster  
and merry-go-round  
her coop of dreams.
