Gentleman's Essentials: Table Manners

The Goops

​

by Gillette Burgess​

The Goops they lick their fingers
And the Goops they lick their knives:
They spill their froth on the tablecloth
Oh, they lead disgusting lives!
The Goops they talk while eating,
And loud and fast they chew;
And that is why I'm glad that I
Am not a Goop, are you?​

One thing I am guilty of is wearing my hat at the table. When I first started wearing nicer hats I looked for a place to place them and in most places there is no proper place to put a hat, so out of necessity it stays on my head.
