A beautiful name, I can't complain, named after the most perfect woman that ever lived, the Mother of our Lord.
But what's in a name when everyone thinks you're a nursery rhyme!
There are some things you need to know, but why should you care, you don't have the time.
First of all I am not contrary,
Why do I always have to hear that
Just because my name is Mary?
Now, let me tell you how my garden grows,
It is not how the nursery rhyme goes.
With silver bells and cockle shells? (what's that anyway)
Pretty maids all in a row? Not right, no, no.
But I do have my beautiful petunia.
Fine, you find a word that rhymes with petunia!
About this nonsense about my little lamb, let's get one thing
straight. The thing was a pain in the neck. He followed
me to school because he was a nosy thing. And if
it was against the rules, well remember I am contrary,
You're always told that if your name is Mary!

Have you seen The Secret Garden? The little Mary in that movie feels just about this same way :)

Who is not simply ordinary
She is quite unique
Like a fine boutique
Oh, she's quick and she does not tarry
I know, it makes no sense but it's a "limerick," Mary; and you inspired it. Lol! Love and best wishes,
Regis
but Mary Mary -- how does your garden grow? With silver bells....
no no not that one ....I know -- that movie -- Something about Mary!
There is definitely something wonderful about you, Mary. Susan
AS YOU HAVE INSPIRED THE OTHERS BELOW, I MUST PUT MY2 CENTS WORTH IN ALSO:
VERY OLD SONG LYRICS:
"For it was Mary, Mary,
long before the fashions came,
but with propriety,
society would say Marie -
Yes, it was Mary, Mary,
As Sweet a name as any could be,
There is something there,
that I must share -
It's a GRAND OLD NAME!"

THANKS LOADS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D
My mother's best friend was named Mary, in fact. :) And I have a cousin named Mary, too. :)
Mary is a name
of honor and fame
Disregard useless rhyme;
it's a name for all time.
When spoken to Jesus,
The name always pleases,
More than any other,
It reminds Him of Mother.

A petunia, so beautiful
Well-watered -- I'm dutiful
Its petals, so flimsy
Still tickle my whimsy
Mar, Mary is not so contrary,
Guess how her garden grows,
With a Patunia here and a Petunia there
Even an occasional Rose.
Great write Mary.
Newfie Hugs, Rose
I was not able to find a rhyme for petunia,
But so many there are for a miss Mary,
Such as Scary, hairy, wary, & canary,
So many there are that I will stop here & say,
You are like the fruit, a red delicious cherry...(& be done with it) Ed
