There once was a Girl named Tom(sen), / Who went to work on a Bomb(en). / She started to Flirt, / And Down went her Skirt, /
And then she Became Eloise(r).
Now, of course, I like to think of this situation as (I'm shurtin Ye dinnar much carrabboot zis. Zusly, it iss zat ve muve on to some sing mur inter-iss-ing,

1: Was elss?
Toast Be Clountinued.) a very odd one, yet, one where the meanings are obvious. This takes place in the nine-teen forty's, during the second world-war. She, like many other females, joined the women's army to assist in that great war. She is obviously on the bomb-making squad, toiling day and night to make the ammunitions that the allied forces will need to topple the German Government. However, it is symbolic that her name is Tom(sen); not Tom, nor Thomsen. What does this mean? It is not Thomsen; she is not fully German. It is not Tom; she is not a male, nor is she fully on the side of the Allied Forces. I could mean that she is half for Germany, half against and it could mean she is a tom-boy. This name comes from, like the title of this work, Das Boot. The fellow's name is Thomsen. This would indicate that she secretly supports the Germans yet works for the Allied Forces. The next two lines are not terribly interesting. They are also simplistic. However, it is their conclusion, and, in fact, the conclusion to the entire poem, that is of interest. But, firstly, those first two lines (or, rather, the third and fourth). The third line is an allusion to a Beatles' song, Good-Morning, Good-Morning. The exact line is: "Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear". Can this help with our deciphering? Most likely not. However, it can help in knowing that there are many allusions. This line then indicates that she is either very flirtatious or that... she works in a... brothel, if you will. The fourth line would seem to support the latter idea. However, this could also be interpreted as she started to flirt with the idea that she liked the Germans more, and let down her skirt to them, indicating that she approved more of them than the Allied Forces. But, it could also be a simple office love-affair. The final line is interesting. The name is the most significant part of that line. It could be interpreted as Eloise; a name that is not German. But, by the same token, it can be change. With the "R" in parenthesis added on to the name, it becomes Eloiser. This sounds very much like Ebenezer. His last name, was Scrooge. So, it could be that the Germans are simply taking advantage of her, taking her money and perhaps her information while she is naked; no protection and too embarrassed to do any thing about the situation. However, Eloiser can also change the meaning of the entire poem; she could be becoming a man. She started to flirt with the idea, she pulls down her pants to have the operation, and becomes male. Finally, in the brothel sense, she could be getting pregnant and about to give birth to a boy, the "R" in parenthesis indicated a full tummy; part of the whole, yet, not the actual thing. Notice also that the last line does not work. There has been an A A B B patern. Suddenly, the expected A or B is in stead, a C. And, the C does not work all that well either. This shows that there is a distance between this sentence and the rest of the poem; that this sentence has been exiled. This would seem to support all of the theories; She is really being pushed away from the Allied Forces (the un-expected C) and from the Germans (the letter in parenthesis). It supports the Brothel theory: her lover gives her up and she has the baby on her own. It supports the woman to man operation; she is hiding the "R" yet is being shunned from Society. So, in the end, we have taken this at first glance simple poem, and dissected it to the point of having three or more theories and proofs about what it could mean. Of course, it could also be but a simple little ditty....
