TWENTIETH FLAT A taxidermist plied his trade Upon a walrus head.It really made him quite afraid To meet its stare so dread. When suddenly the rocket, bright,Flared up and then was off! Oh, Minnie, cried the man in fright, Just hear that walrus cough! … TOP FLAT Oh, it was just a splendid flight—That rockets wild career! But to an end it came, all right,As you shall straightway hear. It plunged into a can of creamThat Billy Bunk was freezing, And froze quite stiff, as it would seem,And so subsided, wheezing.
