ROBIN THE BOBBIN THE BIG-BELLIED BEN by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: AND YET HE COMPLAINED THAT HIS STOMACH WASN'T FULL

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.
