An illustration from The rocket book, 1912, leaf 36
FIFTEENTH FLAT Orlando Pease, quite at his ease,The Morning Star was reading. My dear/ said he to Mrs. Pease, Heres a report worth heeding. The rocket then in wanton sportFlashed through the printed pages. The lady gasped, A wild report!Then swooned by easy stages. … SIXTEENTH FLAT Doc Danby was a stupid guy,So, lest he sleep too late, He placed a tattoo clock near byTo waken him at eight. But, ah! the rocket smote that clockAnd smashed its way clean through it! You have a fine alarm, said Doc, But, say, you overdo it!
