Explore "The Rocket Book" by Peter Newell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Fritz, the Janitor's bad kid, / Went snooping in the basement, / He found a rocket snugly hid / Beneath the window casement.
He struck a match with one fell swoop; / Then, on the concrete kneeling, / He lit the rocket and--she--oop! / It shot up through the ceiling.
