Do you wanna hear a story About writer Mary Shelley?
She wrote the novel Frankenstein, And we're gonna try
to make this rhyme! She married Percy Shelley.
They were happy, too, until their first child died.
Do you wanna hear a story? It doesn't have to be so boring!
(Go away Frankenstein! Okay, bye)
Do you wanna hear a story? Apparently, so did they.
The Shelley s and Lord Byron played A little scary game to write the night away!
(You got this girl!) She had a little writer's block,
And so do we... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Do you wanna build a monster? It didn't have to be a monster...
She got her idea from a scary dream Her dead baby came back to life
And she sure would've loved to see him alive... But she got a new fourth child by her side.
Percy helped. Byron too
And it eventually got published (anonymously) People couldn't believe that a girl could
write well. But beware she was fearless and super brave.
She's never been alone without her man... She had married him until he died in Gulf
of Spezia! And she's not proud of his mistakes...
He cheated on her, with multiple women. But she still was editing her late husband's
poems, taking care of their one sad child, she really
cared, she then was forced to stop. Because of her father-in-law threatened to
cut off support. She edited; Queen Mab, Mont Blanc, Rambles
in Germany. All romance, gothic novels...She doesn't care,
she just made a biography on Percy. And She'll always be famous.(famous).
She's a feminist, She inspired women's rights,
She believed in the Enlightenment She could be your writer (WRITER).
You can call her, Wollstonecraft. And oh she'll write, and write, and write.
Let her write your novels. She's all alone-Family went and gone.
She tried to count, all of the change she could find for her child.
And everyone who knows her knows that she was some creepy writer,
She really didn't come from money. But all her books are like,
"Enounce", "Ardour", "Imbue", "Inquirer", all vocab.,
We'll probably have in our next test. After that she died at 53,
brain tumor, sadness, graveyard, dead children's hair,
She's gone, but we love her anyway. And She'll always be famous.(famous).
She's a feminist, She inspired women's rights,
She believed in the Enlightenment She could be your writer (WRITER).
You can call her, Wollstonecraft. And oh she'll write, and write, and write.
Let her write your novels. Ooh ooh oh
She's more alive than she's ever been, But till her depression hits...
Ooh ooh oh Life is horrible without her love,
She's caught in a huge love affair.
And her surviving kid (kid) Which she had with percy,
Didn't have the writing skill, Like his mom and dad
But he still protected her tomb (tomb) It's at Boscombe.
And you can see it, see it, see it, see it. Now let's read frankenstein.
