THE GOOP DIRECTORY OF Juvenile Offenders Famous for their Misdeeds and Serving as a Salutary Example for all Virtuous Children
INDEX
INTRODUCTION
MARMADUKE ARGYLL
A Goop that always makes me smile Is this one: Marmaduke Argyll. His mouth is full from cheek to cheek, Why should he then attempt to speak? It makes me smile, but still, the fact is, It is a most unpleasant practice.
NANCY BEAL
On the sidewalk Nancy Beal Throws her old banana peel; Throws her apple skin and cores, Right in front of people's doors! Isn't that a shocking trick? Ask that Goop to stop it, quick!
MASTER BILDAD
A puppy, when he gets a bone, Will keep it for himself alone. So Bildad would not share his toys Or lend them to the other boys. He was a Goop; and so are you If you are ever selfish, too!
PERCY BINGG
BETSY BIRCH
Look at little Betsy Birch, Always whispering in church! Always playing with the books, Never caring how she looks! Never knowing Goops like her Ought to neither talk nor stir!
LEVI BOING
MARY C. C. CALL
Mary Carey Cory Call-- Hear her cry and hear her bawl! Hear her groan! Hear her growl! Hear her moan!-- Hear her howl! She's the goopiest Goop of all, Mary Carey Cory Call!
LITTLE CORALIE
ANDREW CROSSETT
Have you heard how Andrew Crossett Meddled with the water-faucet? Letting water flood the sink? Andrew was a Goop, I think; Otherwise he would have known He should let such things alone!
ANNABELLA DAY
ADOLPHUS ELFINSTONE
AMANDA FISH
FREDERICK FISHER
Freddie Fisher fairly fussed When he came to eat his crust! Often on the floor he'd throw it, Hoping mother wouldn't know it! Goops all hate to eat the crust; If you're told to, then you must!
EZRA HECHT
M. AND B. HOPPER
AMANDA M. JAMES
Amanda Minnesinger James She called her sister horrid names! She called her brother names, as well, So bad I wouldn't dare to tell! It's shocking how a Goop will act! They have no manners, that's a fact.
SUSIE KLEIN
ROBERTO LEES
How thoughtless was Roberto Lees! . He teased the little pussy cat, He teased the puppy! Think of that! He even teased his sister, too! I think he was a Goop--don't you?
ANNIE A. LeGRAND
The queerest Goop in all the land Was Annie Annabelle LeGrand; She often said what wasn't true-- Which is an awful thing to do! But we are honest, you and I, We think it's wrong to tell a lie!
MISS MACKADOO
This is a Goop-- Miss Mackadoo; She never speaks when spoken to. When spoken to, she turns her eyes, And never answers or replies. She hangs her head and sucks her thumb-- You'd think that she was deaf and dumb!
ISABEL McCLUNG
ALEXANDER B. McGIFF
Young Alexander B. McGiff Each day had a clean handkerchief. In spite of this, if you'll believe, He wiped his nose upon his sleeve! Nobody but a Goop would do it; His mother'd scold him, if she knew it.
ELIAS E. McGUFF
Elias Ethelbert McGuff, Oh, he was rude and he was rough! He used to pinch, he used to poke, And called his rudeness just a joke. What made him plague his playmates so? He was a Goop and didn't know!
SOLOMON McKIM
I wonder if you ever meet The Goop who always scuffs his feet? He makes them drag along the floor As if they weighed a ton or more. Just think of Solomon McKim, And don't be slovenly like him!
JOHN D. PELL
ESAU POUND
When you're finished with your play, Do you put your toys away? Do you put away your hat, And your coat, and things like that? Or, are you like Esau Pound? He's the Goop who leaves things 'round!
ELIZA PUDDINGFOOT
If you should ask why Rosamund Eliza Puddingfoot was shunned, I'd say, because she'd always cheat In every game, so she could beat. Only a Goop would act that way And be dishonest in her play.
AMELIA PRATT
"I won't!" says young Amelia Pratt; "I won't do this!" "I won't do that!" Now isn't "won't" the naughtiest word That anyone has ever heard? Now isn't that the rudest way A Goop could answer? I should say!
