Mary had a little turkey,
a little dressing,
a little corn amd peas.
Potatoes and gravy,
and topped it off with mac and cheese.
- -and Mary did not stop eating.
Mary had a little casserole,
and a big pile of cole slaw.
Two rolls, broccoli
and all the food she saw.
- -Mary was not finished, yet.
Mary had a little bowl of dessert,
two cookies and some pie.
As she sat back down,
she felt she was about to die.
Mary finished off,
with a piece of chocolate cake,
when she got home,
she found she had a stomach ache.
As she sat up half the night,
she knew she would never be thinner.
Unless she stayed home from church,
when it had its fellowship dinner.
