"Won't you walk a little farther?"
Said a Goop to his Papa; / "It is really quite delightful, / And we haven't travelled far; / Wont you walk a little farther, / There's a house I'd like to see!
Won't you walk a little farther, / Till we reach that cherry-tree?"
"Won't you carry me? I'm tired!"
Whined a Goop to his Papa; / "And my feet are sore and weary, / And we've gone so very far!
Won't you carry me? I'm tired!
And I can't walk back alone!
Won't you carry me? I'm tired!"
And the Goop began to groan.
