nine o'clock
From one small germ there will arise and go forth a family the size of which was never dreamed of in the philosophy of our wise and busy President . I do n't know just exactly how they happened to warm wise to me , but a newly married couple of grip germs took a notion to build a nest somewhere on the outskirts of my solar plexus , and two hours later they had about 233 children attending the public school in my medusa oblongata ; and every time school would let out for recess I would go up in the air and hit the ceiling with my top-knot . Before the next morning came all these grip children had graduated from school and after tearing down the school-house the whole bunch had married and had large families of their own , and all hands were out paddling their canoes on my alimentary canal . By nine o'clock that morning there must have been eighty-five million grip germs armed with self-loading revolvers all trying to shoot their initials over the walls of my interior department . It was fierce ! When the doctor arrived on the scene I was carrying enough concealed weapons to exterminate the entire Japanese army . I 'm up to one thing and that is that the Russians could n't beat the Japs because all the national energy and vitality emigrated from St. Petersburg and came over here with the first grip germs .
