Mary had a little lamb,
Whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near.
And he waited patiently,
‘Til Mary did appear.
