Untold children's poems - Part 1

Mary had a piece of ham

Mary had a piece of ham,
Its rind was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The ham was sure to go.

She took it to her school one day;
That was against the rule.
It made the children highly gay
To eat some ham at school.

But when the teacher saw the meat,
he threw it out of there.
And so it rested on the street
Till Mary did appear.

"Why does she have that big a ham?"
The eager children cry.
"Why, Mary used to have a lamb,"
The teacher did reply.
