Too Many Oops!

By Eboni J. Harris and Mamie R. Toole

OOPS! is a word someone usually says When something is inadequately done.
Or when nothing is completely completed
Or maybe out of three--- only one.


OOPS! also can mean you have forgotten
To do something you shouldn't have forgot
You have a feeling of uncertainty "Maybe I didthen - Maybe not!
OOPS!


You have various reasons for needing to say OOPS!
"I'm about to," "Perhaps" or "Not really!"
Procrastinating or refusing to do it
Too weary or just too busy.


People sometimes rush an assignment
Knowing there is little time to make corrections
The time frame may be limited too
Not enough time to read the directions
OOPS!

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the masses of people

Who regret—

Repeatedly,

Having to use the word

OOPS!

Also to the thousands of people who share

Many of their OOPS! with others

No special gender—race—or creed.

Not intentionally like sisters and brothers.

It’s Dedicated to plain Ordinary people.

And People of High esteem too.

Just hurriedly—carelessly, and lazily

Blaming their reason to say

OOPS!—On You.

OOPS!

I wonder if I

Reviews for Too Many Oops!

[antiquary_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is one of the latest Swallows and Amazons books in terms of the overall chronology of the series. It immediately follows We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea, which I rather dislike (too much seasickness), By this time the Swallows are older, John and Susan are old enough to be left in charge of the crew on a tidal island off the English coast. Roger the ship's boy is now rated an able seaman, and the youngest child, Bridget, hitherto too young to go along on the adventures, is included for the first time. They are exploring a set of tidal islands and are joined by the Amazons while encountering a local group of children, the Eels, who see themselves as a primitive tribe, conveniently serving as opponents for the Swallows" explorers." I suppose a contemporary critic might see the game as too imperialist, but in the context of the time it is harmless. One bit I remember is when Bridget is being a "sacrifice" and the others are afraid she is upset and stop the game, but she actually wants to go on playing.
