There was a cantankerous ‘gator
For whom ‘t was no pleasure to cater.
If he happened to find
No dish to his mind,
He would like as not swallow the waiter.
[Oliver Herford in The Century Magazine. Vol. LXXXIV, June 1912, no. 2, p. 321.]

There was an old man called McNab
Who once ate for supper a crab
Twelve lobsters, eight snipe,
And a large dish of tripe
(He had to go home in a cab)
