John Williams Poet Rhyme

The Meat Pie Eater

A young boy ate ten pies
Now on the ground he sadly lies,
His face is green, his mouth is red
From where all the sauce has spread.

His mother warned him not to eat
Beyond capacity for a treat,
His stomach rumbles once again,
Next time he'll try one less than ten.
