SAMMY SMITH'S SAD FATE

Sammy Smith would drink and eat, From morning until night; He filled his mouth so full of meat, It was a shameful sight. Sometimes he gave a book or toy For apple, cake, or plum; And grudged if any other boy Should taste a single crumb. Indeed he ate and drank so fast, And used to stuff and cram, The name they call'd him by at last Was often Greedy Sam.
