"The Kewpies by Rose O’Neill / They called the Baby Tourist 'Scootles' / She was full of tunes and tootles / Particularly fond of trips / And toddling – here and there. /  And so she got to Kewpie town -- / That very far from droopy town-- / And always ever after / That brave baby would declare: / 'IF you scoot and toddle long enough, / With somersaults and song enough, / Hopping on and popping on -- / And keeping up your pace-- / Not letting on nor fretting on / But industriously getting on / You’ll come to / A Good Place'."
