Vepley has more soul

THE STEAMER BEGAN TO MOVE SLOWLY AWAY BUT ON THE LANDWARD HORIZON APPEARED THE SILHOUETTE OF A FIGHTING MACHINE. ANOTHER CAME, AND ANOTHER, STRIDING OVER HILLS AND TREES, PLUNGING FAR OUT TO SEA AND BLOCKING THE EXIT OF THE STEAMER. BETWEEN THEM LAY THE SILENT, GREY IRONCLAD "THUNDER CHILD". SLOWLY IT MOVED TOWARDS SHORE; THEN, WITH A DEAFENING ROAR AND WHOOSH OF SPRAY, IT SWUNG ABOUT AND DROVE AT FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE WAITING MARTIANS...

THERE WERE SHIPS OF SHAPES AND SIZES
SCATTERED OUT ALONG THE BAY
AND I THOUGHT I HEARD HER CALLING
AS THE STEAMER PULLED AWAY
THE INVADERS MUST HAVE SEEN THEM
AS ACROSS THE COAST THEY FILED
STANDING FIRM BETWEEN THEM
THERE LAY THUNDER CHILD!
