An illustration from The rocket book, 1912, leaf 24
NINTH FLAT Bob Brooks was puffing very hard His football to inflate,While round him stood his faithful guard, And they could hardly wait. Then came the rocket, fierce and bright,And through the football rumbled. Youve got a pair of lungs, all right!His staring playmates grumbled. … TENTH FLAT The family dog, with frenzied mien,Was chasing Fluff, the mouser, When, poof! the rocket flashed between,And quite astonished Towzer. Now, if this dog had wit enoughThe English tongue to torture, He might have growled such silly stuffAs, Whew! that Cats a scorcher!
