Explore "The Rocket Book" by Peter Newell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Doc Danby was a stupid guy, / So, lest he sleep too late, / He placed a tattoo clock near by / To waken him at eight.
But, ah! the rocket smote that clock / And smashed its way clean through it! / "You have a fine alarm," said Doc, / "But, say, you overdo it!"
