Mary Mary .. How does your garden grow?

Richard

The Mary alluded to in the traditional English nursery rhyme is meant to be Mary Tudor, or Bloody Mary, who was the daughter of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary was a staunch Catholic and the garden referred to is an allusion to graveyards which were increasing in size with those who dared to continue to adhere to the Protestant faith - Protestant martyrs.

This is a nonsense song - I've got no idea what its about. It refers obliquely to some of the awful part time jobs I've done to keep things going I suppose.
