Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow;

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,

Which was against the rules;

It made the children laugh and play,

To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,

But still it lingered near;

And waited patiently about,

Till Mary did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry;

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"

The teacher did reply.
