“ Don't be a Goop!
MARMADUKE ARGYLL
Talking while Eating
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
Throwing Away Things
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
Selfish With Toys
A puppy, when he gets a bone, Will keep it for himself alone. ”

“ If there's sugar in the dish, Who will take it? Mandy Fish? If there is a box of candy, Just look out for little Mandy! She goops the fruit, and leaves the peeling— She calls it fun; I call it stealing! ”

“ 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!
