Explore "The Rocket Book" by Peter Newell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Before the fire old Grandpa Hopp / Dozed in his arm-chair big, / When from a trunk the rocket burst / And carried off his wig!
It passed so near his ancient head / He roused up with a start, / And, turning to his grandsons, said, / "You fellows think you're smart!"
