♦ SEVENTH FLAT Miss Mamie Briggs with no mean skillWas playing Caseys Fling To please her cousin, Amos Gill,Who liked that sort of thing, When suddenly the rocket, hot, The old piano jumbled!It stopped that rag-time like a shot, Then through the ceiling rumbled. … EIGHTH FLAT Up through the next floor on its wayThat rocket, dread, went tearing Where Winkle stood in bath-robe, gay,A tepid bath preparing. The tub it punctured like a shotAnd made a mighty splashing. The man was rooted to the spot;Then out the door went dashing.
