meet the present German fleet with
any hope of success. The time limit
he set was the minimum required to
build nine battle cruisers and eight

When every pool in Eden was mirror
That unto Eve, her dainty charms proclaimed
She went undraped without single fear or
Thought that she had need to be ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple
That she became inclined to be prude,
And found that evermore she'd have to grapple,
With the much debated problem of the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her clothes,
And that was the beginning of convention,
