Explore "In Goop Attire" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I'll make you a dress of a towel, / And trim it all over with soap, / With a sponge for a hat / And a wet one, at that!
And then you'll be happy, I hope!
You may act like a Goop, if you please, / In garments constructed like these!
But now, while you're dressed up so neatly, / Don't wipe off your hands on your frock!
The smooching that lingers / When you wipe off your fingers, / Will give your dear mother a shock!
The result will be even more shocking, / If you wipe off your shoes on your stocking!
