johnny was a joker
kenny was a klown
larry was a loser
and they all loved mary brown
mary worked for a living
all day at the mill
the men all gazed upon her
for her love they would kill
mary was a quiet sort
and never spoke of dreams
but still waters run deep
big fish swim in little streams
mary had a friend named jill
who was as plain as she was plump
jill dreamed of the big city
and leaving behind this dump
jill dreamed of being mary
and hitching to hollywood
and becoming a famous movie star
that would be good
but jill was trapped in her body
like a tiger in a cage
stuck in a bad story
and she could not turn the page
jill met a girl named named judy
who claimed to be a witch
jill laughed in judy’s face and said
how come you are not rich?
judy replied, an evil mage
is trying to gain control
of me and my magical universe
but he shall not attain his goal
i must use all my energy
to counter his evil will
but until my final victory
i must work here in the mill
jill thought this was gibberish
and said so forthrightly
do not use such big words, she said
you are confusing me
put your money where your mouth is
and make me a movie star
or at least get me a network show
if a witch you truly are
i do not care for your attitude
judy calmly retorted
but i see we must get back to work
or we shall be reported
the world is filled with dreamers
some more desperate than others
raindrops are their sisters
and grains of sand their brothers
