Imagine yourself in McNeale 5

that the world was at war, with civ

United States had pledged all her

greatest military machine ever Gre

all men might live in peace and

for a new outfit OF supplies, and
started back to dig more gold to buy

And overturn the waiting soil
and level down the grade.
And when the bed is spaded up

He goes and gets the arnica, and
groans and groans and

And the groans won't hurt him
