Mary had a pretty bird
This old nursery rhyme is called “Mary had a pretty bird” — enjoy your reading!
“Mary had a pretty bird,
Feathers bright and yellow,
Slender legs—upon my word,
He was a pretty fellow.
The sweetest notes he always sung,
Which much delighted Mary,
And near the cage she'd ever sit,
To hear her own canary.”
