Mary, Mary


In tribute to my clever and very non-ordinary sister Heidi, and her equally contrary and colorful best friend Shahara. We found this in one of Heidi's journals, it is a perfect fit for her, and I'm glad she was exactly, unapologetically herself.

Mary, Mary
Quite Contrary
Contrary to what?
Now that’s a thought!

Cntrary to dull?
Contrary to boring?
Contrary to all that puts me to snoring?

Contrary to safe?
Contrary to normal?
Contrary to stuffed shirt and overly formal?

Contrary to tame?
Contrary to plain?

Contrary to washable, rational, sane?
Mary, Mary
I am glad you’re odd!
Very!
