_STEALING RIDES_


I thought I saw a little Goop
Who hung behind a cart;
I looked again. He'd fallen off!
It gave me _such_ a start!
"If he were killed, some day," I said,
"'Twould break his mother's heart!"

_UNTIDY GOOPS_


I think you are a Goop, because
You never shut your bureau drawers,
You do not close the door!
You leave your water in the bowl,
You put your peelings in the coal!
I've told you _that_ before!
