 	*  Introduction  *
 	******************


    After a conventional upbringing and squandered youth Mary Hall made her
 mark on the world when she wrote the inspirational poem 'Mary had a Little
 Lamb'; she dedicated her life to the advancement of the poem and dreamed
 that it would someday be told the world over. Tragically even such a
 peaceful pursuit has its dangers and Mary's murder at the hands of a
 crazed schizophrenic poet shocked the world.
    Larry 'The Lamb' Zhaga had spent many years following the progress of
 the MHALL poem and had developed an obsessive fascination. Following the
 death of his mother in an bizarre fishing accident Larry shrank into a
 world of his own and spent his time writing to Mary in the hope that
 'everywhere that Mary went, he could go too'. When he realised that his
 dreams would never be fulfilled he took his revenge; Mary's body was found
 after a climber reported almost being killed when Larry jumped contentedly
 off a cliff (he had also had an earlier interest in lemmings).


        This compendium has been produced as a tribute to Mary Hall.

 	*  The Prologue  *
 	******************


 Mary was a curious girl,
 She had not a single friend;
 Some say she brought upon herself,
 Her own tragic end .....
 					PAL
 Mary had some time to spare,
 And wrote a little poem;
 She based it on a lamb she`d seen,
 But didn't even know him .....
 					NWT
 Mary's poem did the rounds,
 Achieving world-wide fame;
 The problem with it now is that,
 It just seems rather lame.
 					PAL
 Mary led a quiet life,
 At least until she died;
 Her one success the poem,
 That triggered her suicide.
 					PAL

 " Mary had a little lamb,
   It's fleece was white as snow;
   And everywhere that Mary went,
   The lamb was sure to go. "

 acts between Mary and the lamb? I mean, what the fuck is wrong with
 everyone? (and the rest of them are about Mary eating the lamb) - CJ

 Mary had a little lamb,

 Where it could not do any harm.
