There was a Goop who lay in bed / Till half-past eight, the sleepy-head!
He couldn't find his stockings, for / He'd thrown them somewhere on the floor!
He couldn't find his reading-book; / He had forgotten where to look!
His breakfast grew so very cold, / This lazy Goop began to scold; / And then he blamed his mother, kind!
"You made me late to school! " he whined.
