Robin the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben
This old nursery rhyme is called “Robin the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben” — enjoy your reading!
“Robin the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben,
He eat more meat than fourscore men;
He eat a cow, he eat a calf,
He eat a butcher and a half;
He eat a church, he eat a steeple,
He eat the 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 complain'd that his stomach wasn't full.”
