INTRODUCTION

[Illustration]

In this DIRECTORY you'll see
Just what you never ought to be;
And so, it should Direct your way
To Good Behavior, every day.
The children of whose faults I tell
Are known by other names, as well,
So see that _you_ aren't in this group
Of Naughty Ones. _Don't be a Goop_!

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

Percy Bingg,
when he's at play,
Is almost always
in the way;
In the room,
or in the street,
Always under
people's feet!
Goops like that
annoy me so!
_You_ keep out
the way, I know!

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

Are you a Goop,
like Levi Boing?
He never looks
where he is going;
He's always bumping
into chairs,
And stumbling, when
he goes upstairs;
He tips things over,
bumps his nose.
He _can't_ be careful,
I suppose!

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

Though Coralie
was small and sweet,
She always, always
had wet feet.
