An illustration from The rocket book, 1912, leaf 12
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! … FOURTH FLAT Jo Budd, whod bought a potted plant, Was dousing it with water.He fancied this would make it grow, And Joseph loved to potter. (o Then through the pot the rocket shotAnd made the scene look sickly! Well, now, said Jo, I never thoughtThat plant would shoot so quickly!
