INTRODUCTION

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

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.
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

In the Way

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

Talking in Church

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

Going Carelessly

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

Crying Continually

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

Getting Feet Wet

Though Coralie
was small and sweet,
She always, always
had wet feet.
She liked to walk
through puddles; so,
She always had
a cold, you know.
But as you aren't
a Goop, you try
To keep your tootsies
warm and dry.

ANDREW CROSSETT

Playing With Faucet

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

Obeying Slowly

How slow is
Annabella Day!
She's so reluctant
to obey!
She acts so sluggish
and so sickly!
Oh, Anna, why not
do it quickly?
Oh, Anna, do be
prompt, and then,
No one will call
you "Goop" again!

GWENDOLYN De V. De WITT

Sulking

Miss Gwendolyn
De Vere De Witt
Is having such
a sulky fit!
Because she couldn't
have her way
With other children
at their play.
A sulky Goop
I really call
As bad as those
who cry and bawl.

ADOLPHUS ELFINSTONE

Playing With Matches

Adolphus Elfinstone,
of Nachez,
Thought it was fun
to play with matches
Until the little Goop
had learned
It hurt a lot
when he got burned!
A little fire
is queer and curious;
But soon it grows
quite big and furious.

AMANDA FISH

Stealing Sweets

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!

FREDERICK FISHER

Not Eating Crusts

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

Not Minding Mother

What in the world
would you expect
Of a Goop whose name
was Ezra Hecht?
Of course he would
refuse to heed
Or mind his mother—
yes indeed!
Of course he would.
Of course he did.
But you must do
what you are bid.

M. AND B. HOPPER

Restless While Dressing

Mother always
is distressed
If you fidget
when you're dressed.
If you fidget
like Miss Midget,
Hopper, or her
sister Bridget.
Goops like that
are so much bother,
That they ought to
dress each other!

AMANDA M. JAMES

Calling Names

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

Whining

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!

ROBERTO LEES

Teasing animals

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

Lying and Fibbing

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

Not answering

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

Sticking out Tongue

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

Not Wiping Nose

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

Rough and Rude

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

Scuffing Feet

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

Ordering People

When John D. Pell
wants something done,
D'you think he asks
of anyone?
Oh, no! He orders
someone to,
With "Get my hat!"
or, "Tie my shoe!"
The Goops all say
rude things like these,
But you, of course,
say, "If you please!"

ESAU POUND

Leaving Things Around

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

Cheating at Play

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

Saying "I Won't"

"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!

JUMBO RAY

Snatching Toys

No children ever
like to play
With such a Goop
as Jumbo Ray.
For he will snatch
and grab the toys
Of all the little
girls and boys.
Though Jumbo loves
to fuss and fight,
You know, of course,
it isn't right.

ANNIE F. R. RIFF

Snuffling and Sniffling

Annie Fanny
Ruffle Riff;
Hear her snuffle!
Hear her sniff!
Hear her sniffle!
Hear her snuff!—
See her—well,
I've said enough.
You have seen her,
I suppose,
The Goop who seldom
blows her nose?

FELICIA ROPPS

Handling Things

Funny, how
Felicia Ropps
Always handles
things in shops!
Always pinching,
always poking,
Alwyas feeling,
always stroking
Things she has
no right to touch!
Goops like that
annoy me much!

PERCIVAL B. SLOOP

Acting Uncleanly

Just look at
Percival B. Sloop,
A most unpleasant
sort of Goop;
He pokes his fingers
in his nose
And wipes his hands
upon his clothes;
He does a lot
of things that you,
I know, would never,
never do!

SUSIE SMALT

Blaming Others

"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?

SPERRY SPROOKS

Tearing Books

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

Not Going to Bed

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!

ROSIE L. V. TROOD

Playing With Food

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!

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
