THE GOOD GIRL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: She's a good little girl -- 'good for what?' did you say?
Last Line: She's as good as -- as good as -- as good as -- herself!
Subject(s): Girls


She's a good little girl, -- "Good for what?" did you say?
Why, good as a kitten to purr and to play;
And good as a brooklet to sing on its way;
And good as the sunshine to brighten the day.
To what shall I liken the dear little elf?
She's as good as -- as good as -- as good as -- herself!
