"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be fair,
"If eighty Zeps with sighly orews
Shelled it for half a year, Do you suppose," the Kaiser said, That they could wipe it clear?" "I doubt it," said Count Zip palis,
And shed a bitter tear.

The Kaiser and Count Zeppelin
Bailed on a mila or so,
And then they rested on a cloud
Conveniently low..
And all the little British lay
