A Lovely Poem
There once was a girl named Mary Elaina Rowena Delary,
Whose accomplishments were really quite scary.
She could sing like a lark, and did not fear the dark,
And everyone simply loved Mary.
She was also a fighter, a lover, and more.
And her conversations were always intriguing.
The Cheshire Cat thought she was most interesting,
And Absolem even found her worth testing.
She would offer advice to the poor Caterpillar.
Mary soon gained her fame as the one who was best in
Every task put to her-she even made a hat for Mallymkun to rest in.
She had long glowing blonde hair that flowed down past her shoulder,
And she looked seventeen-though she was really much older.
Her eyes were quite bright, a deep purple you know,
And her skin was as pale and white as the snow.
She wore a dress of pink and of green,
The loveliest dress that she ever had seen.
She could handle a sword better than even the Knave,
And when it came to battle there was no one as brave.
It was she who was really supposed to be Chosen (as decreed at her Birth),
But then that Alice girl came from that strange place called Earth,
And stole her thunder on the Frabjous Day.
This made Mary quite mad, and caused her to stray.
She wandered in a very bad mood,
Through the dark and the dim of the Tulgey Wood.
She pouted, she sighed,
And then she cried.
"Why did that Alice have to come here at all?
It should have been me that made the Jabberwock fall!
I am the best at all that I do!
I am perfect, and lovely, and musical too!
I have always been told that I'm better than most,
And I know it's true-why would I boast?
You see, I'm so modest and so very humble…"
She whinged as she walked on with nary a stumble.
So caught up was she with her whining and moaning,
That she failed to detect a very loud groaning.
This soon became growling, and snarling, and snapping,
And before she could realize just what was happening,
A terrible monster, with fangs and sharp talons,
Caused her to spill her blood by the gallons,
She gave a loud gurgle, and died with a gasp,
And all Underland rejoiced when freed from her grasp.
