I know a small man
Who eats all he can
From tagliatelle
To custard and jelly
While in the car traffic jam is his favourite
Licking his lips you should see him savour it
When he’s had a bad day and has lots of bad aches
He feasts on some pies and much more fairy cakes
If there is time
He eats after nine
But when he is late
He eats before eight
He even searches in dustbins for odd scraps
And always dreams of food when he takes his daily naps
I wish he could see what a beast he’d become
Stuffing his face with so many cakes pies and buns
He was never invited to any parties
For fear he’d eat too many smarties
At Christmas time he stayed at home
The neighbours complained if he ate the turkey on the bone
Last week he tripped on a banana skin
Guess who dropped would you believe it was him ?!
The doctor he told him that he’d better stop
Did he pay heed to this warning oh no he did not ! !
That man kept on gobbling
He ate and ate and ate
And pretty soon he wasn’t small
He put on a lot of weight
By the time he stopped being a little guy
He was now 6 feet tall and 7wide
One day he started gulping litres of 7up
Later on he sat on a pin guess what ?
HE BLEW UP !!!!

Very funny! You are very talented for your age indeed!
This is a very funny poem, but it has a serious message as well, I think. If people are greedy they will soon meet their downfall. You tell a good tale, with an important moral for us all.
Well done -
good job
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I sure hope the Gobbler was okay after he blew up. Great poem.
