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

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!
