Mary, Nary, Oh-So-Scary
"I never think when I can talk,"
The newsman said to the cub
But write until the day comes up
When you drown in the tub
"I never look when I can leap,"
The skydiver said to his chute
But then, I sow whate'er I reap
The seed begets the fruit
"I never walk when I can run"
The athlete told the starlet
But running out of things to say
Instead, painted the town scarlet
I never nail when I can screw
To his 'prentice the joiner made clear
But keep your hammer clean and sharp
And keep at hand a keg of beer
"I never Spoon when I can Bill,"
The silversmith told his client
You better pay me what you owe
You know I am a tyrant
