Removing headers from jquery text()

Question

I need to get the text from a div with an id of mycenter, but I do not want the header text i.e.
<h2>This is my Title</h2>. I only want the text after the header. Additionally, sometimes the div does not contain any header.

I tried:

var pageText = $('#mycenter').text();

This correctly returns the text in the div, but this includes "This is My Title".

Any clue on how I can do this?

Thanks

One solution can be

var pageClone = $('#mycenter').clone();
pageClone.find(':header').remove();
var pageText = pageClone.text();
pageClone.remove();

This very well may be inefficient but it will likely serve your needs.
