Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Mary Wells


Mary Wells came to Motown to

Sing songs of love as her main goal.

And that is sure what she did do,

One of the first of queens of soul.

Smokey Robinson's "My Guy" be

A song panned by the studio,

Until it was sung by Mary.

And up the charts the song did go.

"My Guy" became Wells' biggest hit.

She sang it "husky" as a joke.

Her producers said go for it.

She did, pleasing soul loving folk.


Mary with "My Guy," star became,

Now in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
