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 a hungry ape!
Come back without their cargoes spilled,
My spoon sails gently to my lips,
Unloading from the SIDE, like ships.
