~> Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary -form Parody-

Thad Wilk

Mary, Mary, quite contrary;

in your garden, you he'll bury.

At night when you lie down to sleep.

Right after you're through counting sheep.

Into your dreams this clown will creep! 

**

Mary, Mary quite contrary,

of this clown you should be wary.

A sight to see the town folk said.

With razor fangs and hair blood red.

Your worst nightmare, your worst dread!

^^

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

your escapes not arbitrary.

To steal your soul's his intent.

He loves to torture and torment

and your demise you can't prevent!

**

Mary, Mary, quite contrary;

Pennywise he's really scary!

Knows how to make your garden grow.

"Cockle shells" among'st each torso;

at planting, this 'bozo's' a pro~

          G'day Thad,

          Mary, Mary, quite contrary
          Why do clowns scare you so?
          With choppers like that, I’d be scared too
          Of them sharp pointy things in a row.

          Would never have thought of Mary getting roped in for Halloween, plus never understood why people were afraid of clowns until....Oh so well writ. Thanks.

                There is something inherently sinister about clowns that goes back to well before the time of court jesters .. I could write a thesis on it .. in fact I did once .. However, I digress .. Now, where woz I .. Oh' yes, this is a great Halloween poem Thad that has some great credentials, not least the prettiness of it as it lays on the page but also is built atop of a firm foundation and from which, it rises so rhythmically ..
