    and stanza 2 - as representing war’s true realities The piece is written in the form of an Iambic tetrameter ~ the same meter as nursery rhymes ~ this makes the tone of the piece sound positive and jubilant.

I could also see the other side of the coin and that he may have decided that he was better
