English poem
Tenth Flat
by Peter Newell (1862–1924)
The family dog, with frenzied mien, Was chasing Fluff, the mouser, When, poof! the rocket flashed between, And quite astonished Towzer.
Now, if this dog had wit enough The English tongue to torture, He might have growled such silly stuff As, "Whew! that cat's a scorcher!"
