What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br />She's crying with all her might and main, <br />And she won't eat her dinner - rice pudding again - <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br /> <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br />I've promised her dolls and a daisy-chain, <br />And a book about animals - all in vain - <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br /> <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br />She's perfectly well, and she hasn't a pain; <br />But, look at her, now she's beginning again! - <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br /> <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br />I've promised her sweets and a ride in the train, <br />And I've begged her to stop for a bit and explain - <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br /> <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane? <br />She's perfectly well and she hasn't a pain, <br />And it's lovely rice pudding for dinner again! <br />What is the matter with Mary Jane?<br /><br />Alan Alexander Milne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rice-pudding/
