Mary Won't Allow It

Mary won't allow it
Sunshine
As anodyne
Sweet chords
On a
Hummingbird
Guitar
Mary won't allow it
Her staff of
Busy bees
All the honey
Yet to be
Gleaned…
Her son didn't die
For your sins
Her son died
On a cross
Of Gold.
Her son died
In foreign wars
Her son died
Before
He was born.
Mary won't allow it
She keeps
Her knees together
She keeps
The Gospels
Straight
She keeps
A tip jar
At the
Temple Gates.
Mary won't allow it
And the world turns
On what Mary
Allows
The world turns
Because because
Blessed art
Thou
Mary
Mary won't
Allow it.
