The Rocket Book

by Peter Newell

FOURTEENTH FLAT

Tom's pap had helped him start his train,

And all would have been fine

Had not the rocket, raising Cain,

Blocked traffic on the line.

It blew the engine into scrap,

As in a fit of passion.

"Who would have thought that toy," said pap,

"Would blow up in such fashion!"
