ought to
dress each other!

AMANDA M. JAMES

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
When e'er I hear
a puppy whine,
I always think
of Susie Klein;
I think of how
she hangs her head,
She doesn't speak--
she _whines_, instead!
Don't whine! If you
don't speak right out,
You are a Goop,
without a doubt!
[Illustration: Whining]
ROBERTO LEES
How thoughtless was
Roberto Lees!
(For only thoughtless
children tease).
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!
[Illustration: Not Answering]
ISABEL McCLUNG
Do you ever
stick your tongue
Out, like
Isabel McClung?
No one but
a Goop would show
Rudeness such as that,
I know!
If you're good,
take my advice;
_Please_ don't do it!
'Tisn't nice.

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!
[Illustration: Rough and Rude]
SOLOMON McKIM
I wonder if
you ever meet
The Goop
