Steady Eddie was always ready
For meatballs and spaghetti.
Dan the man was a big fan
Of eating eggs with boiled ham.
Bob the slob was on the job
To chew away corn on the cob.
Mitt the git could hardly sit
When served a bowl of shrimp & grits.
Jake the snake, numb as a hake
Just adored potato and steak.
Tricky Ricky who looked all sickly
Finds it all to be quite icky!
