Come little ones open thy ears and gather nearby
             This is a tale that'll make one happy then cry
             Mary and Kerri were friends until they'd depart
             Larry was Mary's high school sweetheart
             Mary helped Kerri throughout her whole life
             She had a rough childhood, which wasn't very nice
             Then Kerri had moved away from her long-lived home
             But each day got worse, as she was alone
             Then Mary gave Kerri her wish, and let her stay at her dwelling
             Gave her food, shelter, money and even helped her with her spelling
             Mary did all a good friend could ever ask
             She even forged her a permission slip so Kerri could cut class
             And there's Larry, the innocent man
             Every girls dream, he would be as nice as he can
             Soon Kerri found the fixation that the girls had in Larry
             But it's was her best friend's boyfriend, and he made her so merry
             "Forget it, he's out of the picture
             But his smile, his eyes, his wonderful fixture"
             She said to herself, "I can always have new friends
             A guy like this will only come once... I must befriend!"
             And so she did, after all Mary had done
             Friends forever, and she gave it up for only one
             ...Now everybody has gone different ways
             And I try not to think of that ugly day
             If you could get one thing from this poem that you could see-through
             Let it be the moral "Don't bite the hand that feeds you!"
