An illustration from The rocket book, 1912, leaf 10
SECOND FLAT Before the fire old Grandpa HoppDozed in his arm-chair big, When from a trunk the rocket burstAnd carried off his wig! It passed so near his ancient headHe roused up with a start, And, turning to his grandsons, said, You fellows think youre smart! … THIRD FLAT Algernon Bracket, somewhat rash,Had blown a monster bubble, When, oh! there came a blinding flash,Precipitating trouble! O But Algy turned in mild disgust,And called to Mama Bracket, Say, did you hear that bubble bust?It made an awful racket!
