HELPFULNESS

Gelett Burgess

I never knew a Goop to help his mother, I never knew a Goop to help his dad, And they never do a thing for one another; They are actually, absolutely bad!

If you ask a Goop to go and post a letter, Or to run upon an errand, how they act! But somehow I imagine you are better, And you try to go, and cry to go, in fact!
