THE GOOD GIRL by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

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!
