    MARY'S LITTLE ADDICTION
    By John Williams






    Mary had a little lamb
    Its fleece was white as snow
    She sold herself for money
    Each and every night
    She would sell her dignity
    If the price was right




    Everywhere that Mary went
    The lamb was sure to go
    She tried to escape
    She tried to flee
    But you can’t run very fast
    When you’re on your knees


    It followed her to school one day
    Which was against the rules
    Teachers don’t want to know
    But the children all do
    If you go out
    The boogey man will get you


    It made the children laugh and play
    To see a lamb at school
    And the teachers watched
    As Mary tried to scream
    Lost and alone in her dreams
    They all closed there eyes
    And placed Mary far away
    To a place with padded walls
    Where the halls are empty
    Not an echo
    Not a voice
    Only Mary
    And her drug of choice

    -End-

    okay..how do I say this without making it sound bad?

    Im not a big fan of this poem. I dont think it flows well,at all...and it's quite akward. Not to mention,a little predictable.

    yeah i like the consept, but it just doesn't sound right. it doesn't really have a good rhythm or vibe. needs a little work, it has potential to be real good.
