Garbage Mary
Garbage Mary
Garbage Mary dressed in rags
And lived in a council flat.
She liked to search the dustbins
Just like a sewer rat
Neighbours they got concerned
As Mary looked ill and poor
her flat was full of rubbish
It could not take any more
They informed the Social Services
who took Mary into care.
Police while searching the apartment
found bank books, stocks and shares.
Mary was worth a lot of money
nearly a million pounds
Yet she had wanted to live her life
by just rummaging around.
No one ever knew the reason
why Mary chose to live this way.
She could have been a lady
instead of a waif and stray.
This is based on a true story, as I read about in America while
I was on a holiday there
