Polly

Do you know a girl named Polly?
She has many traits by golly
In fact, her name in part expresses
The many qualities she possesses

Name a language she can't speak
I'll bet that you cannot
Polly speaks so many languages
She's a polyglot

Polly can tell you 'bout quantum physics
Or The Grapes of Wrath
She knows just about everything
She's a polymath

She sewed a dress of many colors
The colors are dramatic
When she wears that colorful dress
She's polychromatic

She sings in a great big chorus
With a group symphonic
The chorus has so many voices
It is polyphonic

Polly's married to four men
I think it's ridiculous
The police took her off to jail
They said she was polygamous

Do you know a girl named Polly?
She has many traits by golly
In fact, her name in part expresses
The many qualities she possesses
