Explore "How to Eat Soup" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Whenever you are eating soup / Remember not to be a Goop!
And if you think to say this rhyme, / Perhaps 'twill help you every time:
Like little boats that put to sea, / I push my spoon AWAY from me; / I do not tilt my dish, nor scrape / The last few drops, like hungry ape!
Like little boats, that, almost filled, / Come back without their cargoes spilled, / My spoon sails gently to my lips, / Unloading from the SIDE, like ships.
