Explore "Helpfulness" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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!
