Songs in the Spirit of Sprat

      Mother Goose's 

      Jack Sprat & His Wife 

Jack Sprat 
could eat no fat.
His wife 
could eat no lean. 
And so, betwixt

the two of them, 
they lick'd the platter
clean. 

     Songs in the Spirit of Sprat 

     Jean de Brunhoff's 

     Babar & the Old Lady 

The rich old crone's

but skin and bones, 

while Babar's 

plu-obese.

That pachyderm 

stays fat 'n' firm 

by scarfing 

sans surcease. 

     Andre Maurois's 

     King Plumpapuff the Patapouf 

     & the King of the Filifers 

King Plumpapuff 

can't get enough 

of eat et drink...

...et joie.

The Filifer 

cries, "No, monsieur! 

No Crêpes Suzette 

pour moi."
