gs that you,
I know, would never,
never do!

SUSIE SMALT

"Oh," says little
Susie Smalt,
"It is someone
else's fault!"
"_She_ began it!"
"_She's_ to blame!"
"_She's_ the one that
spoiled the game!"
So Goops always
blame each other;
Do _you_ own up
your fault to Mother?

[Illustration: Blaming Others]

SPERRY SPROOKS

Have you ever
chanced to look
At a torn and
dirty book?
At a book that's
ragged, soiled,
Inked and finger-
marked and spoiled?
Who has done it?
Sperry Sprooks!
He's the Goop
that spoils the books!

URIAH STEAD

I never saw
Uriah Stead
When he was glad
to go to bed.
There always was
_one_ thing to do
Before he could
take off a shoe!
The little Goop
was always late;
I hope _you_ don't
pro-cras-ti-nate!

[Illustration: Not Going to Bed]

ROSIE L. V. TROOD

Rosie Lily
Violet Trood,
Always messes
with her food;
Always plays with
her potatoes,
Meat and gravy
and tomatoes!
Callers, who are
asked to dine,
Knowing she's
a Goop, decline!
