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!

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

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. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. 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.
