ROBIN the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben, He ate more meat than fourscore men; He ate a cow, he ate a calf, He ate a butcher and a half, He ate a church, he ate a steeple, He ate a priest and all the people! A cow and a calf, An ox and a half, A church and a steeple, And all the good people, And yet he complained that his stomach wasn't full. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JAMES MCCOSH by ROBERT BRIDGES (1858-1941) ASOLANDO: WHITE WITCHCRAFT by ROBERT BROWNING THE MACHINE by MAXWELL STRUTHERS BURT THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON THE ICONOCLAST by ROSE TERRY COOKE DOWN UNDERGROUND by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
