Mary Mary
Quite contrary one
Mary Mary is a nursery rhyme beginning "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" The rhyme asks about silver bells, cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row.
Various historical interpretations link it to Mary I of England or Mary Queen of Scots, though like most nursery rhymes, its origins remain uncertain.
