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.

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!
