In another century a boy was born of special breed

His stomach was insatiable, devouring scraps alike

The parents could not master him, the way he ate, disastrous fate

Smelling like a heap of reek, was thrown out on his ass

Joined a gang of charlatans with whom he thieved to praise gut feed

Rat's and life stock fled astray to save their sorry lives

Doctors could not find a cure, this glutton was a festering truth

Tarrare and his constant hunger consumed a child to rude

Be man or pig, an ox consumed

Eel's swallowed down, graveyard rot exhumed

Drank the blood from a rotting corpse

Ate it whole then gulped up it's bones

Oh the moans

Tried his ways French army days, the military lost their mind

This scavenger was something else, he ate for 15 men

When he died, the medics pried, the autopsy revealed his hide

Deep inside his gullet wide, pus and ulcers thrived
