Sneaky Bill

I'm Sneaky Bill, I'm terrible mean and vicious,
I steal all the cashews
from the mixed-nuts dishes;
I eat all the icing but I won't touch the cake,
And what you won't give me,
I'll go ahead and take.

I gobble up the cherries from everyone's drinks,
And whenever there are sausages
I grab a dozen links;
I take both drumsticks if
there's turkey or chicken,
And the biggest strawberries
are what I'm pickin';

I make sure I get the finest chop on the plate,
And I'll eat the portions of anyone who's late!

I'm always on the spot before the dinner bell—
I guess I'm pretty awful,
but
I
do
eat
well!
