Miss Mary

Miss Mary went down to fetch a canary, all the while wishing her song would stay. She would hum along and bounce til dawn, if only the words would play.

Mary's older brother was quick to ruin her fun, telling her "You can dance all you want but no other will come."

"I need no other save my mind," thought Mary. "Everything is as free as time."

With that she turned her back on what was behind her and ran off to sing what could no longer stay inside her.
