Mary had a cow

Mary did not have a little lamb

She had a cow not white as snow

It would not follow her where she went

No matter how hard she tried to pull

 

The cow did not follow her to school one day

As Mary had skipped school

Mary fell asleep and lay beside the hay

She was found when the cow went moo

 

Mary's dad was all put out

To take her off to school

Leaving the cow to walk about

With Mary crying boo hoo

 

It wasn't for the cow she cried

Mary just wanted to play hookey

Her father glared and asked her why

Mary's reply "I wanted milk for the cookies."

Well, that makes sense.

I heard an alternate version once in the movie The Newton Boys.
Mary had a little lamb
Her father killed it dead
and now it goes to school with her
between two chunks of bread.

I didn't say it was a NICE version. ;-)

Beth G. Jan 26, 2010, 10:39pm UTC
lol Tracy that was too funny! Sick, but funny:-)
Tracy Fabre Jan 26, 2010, 10:40pm UTC
Incidentally, I had lamb for the first time a few days ago. Different lamb, I'm sure. ;-)
Beth G. Jan 26, 2010, 10:45pm UTC
lol Tracy undoubtably it was a different one. Otherwise it brings a new meaning to Silence of the lambs huh?
Tracy Fabre Jan 26, 2010, 10:46pm UTC
If it's on my plate, it'd better be silent.
Beth G. Jan 26, 2010, 11:31pm UTC

Love it! Poor Mary, though - no milk, and probably no cookies either now! :-)
Beth G. Jan 26, 2010, 11:17pm UTC

As wonderful as whimsical, Beth. I'd take milk and cookies over school any day, (I can say this now that my children are grown)
Beth G. Jan 26, 2010, 10:32pm UTC
