And yet, you seem to have missed the vital point the whole poem makes, it is in fact an allegorical piece on the Franco-Prussian war. So sad to see that a poet of your vast...intellect, has missed these subtle undertones. For was it not the great bard himself who wrote "I would not eat green eggs and ham, not on a train , not in a plane..." so on and so forth.
