Goody Two Shoes

goody-goody
was she
must say
a bit
too much 
for me

goody shoes
are two
in one
she stuffs
those don'ts
been done

the other 
kept for
her dos
those rights
best left
outta sight

we all
won't see
these things
well done
saved for
foolish fun

one goes
near here
nor there
searching so
for goodys
who care





rhyme  30 lines  60 words
