Sammy Smith's Sad Fate

Title:     Sammy Smith's Sad Fate
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

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.

[The end]
Elizabeth Turner's poem: Sammy Smith's Sad Fate
