William F. Lamby

William F. Lamby is Mary's little lamb, and noted author, as seen in Sesame Street Episode 2480.
Telly Monster gives a Monster on the Spot report on the familiar rhyme, in which Mary's lamb followed her to school one day and made the children laugh and play. The lamb—who now wears glasses, a suit, and speaks eloquently—cuts Telly off to plug his autobiography: Mary Had a Little Lamb... The Continuing Story. His book adds more verses to the rhyme which describe what happened afterwards. The prideful lamb told Mary's classmates not to laugh at him, and that he wanted to enroll in school to get an education. He mentions in asides that he spent four years at Harvard and received his "magna cum lamby" upon graduating. The book concludes on his current career as an author. In his spare time, he has lunch with Mary, noting that they've dined in some of the most posh restaurants in the city. Lamby also totes copies of his book to autograph.
Lamby's name and distinguished way of speaking parody novelist and intellectual William F. Buckley Jr. In the original episode script, he was simply named "Herbert."
In other appearances by Mary, where a generic lamb is used instead, she sometimes addresses her lamb as "Lamby."
