The Goops ~ A poem about manners

~ The Goops




The Goops they lick their fingers,


And the Goops they lick their knives;


They spill their broth on the tablecloth-


Oh, they lead disgusting lives!


The Goops they talk while eating,


And loud and fast they chew;


And that is why I’m glad that I am NOT a Goop – are you?
