Nursery Drabble - Mary Had a Little Lie
by Maeryn Lamonte
Melanie Ezell's big closet ultimate writer's challenge – Drabble Rabble
Mary had a little lie
Her body tol' the worl'
Although she was built like a guy,
beneath she was a girl
She went dressed to school one day
It contravened a rule
The other children laughed at her
And treated her quiet cruel
And so a teacher gave a shout
And made her linger near
Waiting by the school's way out
For her parents to appear
“Why did you wear a dress to school?”
Her distraught mother cried.
“I can't help it, Mum,” she said.
“It's something I can't hide.”
