What Mary and her lamb look like

Illustrators seem to take liberty in altering this nursery rhyme in particular. It seems to allow for comedic elements as well as cynicism through word play.
Here the sender has personalised the rhyme by replacing Mary with Delia. 
The contrast of the printed rhyme with the seemingly personal handwriting feels rich in a sort of personal and sentimental character.
