Oh well hey, look at this, they ain't no punctshahation up in hurr. The lack of most punctuation helps to further jumble up many phrases of patriotism. These come from traditional United States songs and a now cliche ideology of "freedom isn't free and I'm proud of it because people died." Even the poem form has gone awry in that Cummings smashed up both an English and Italian sonnet in his work. What a sly dog...Woof! Then ending with a narration of the quoted speaker's actions, reveals this "speech" was delivered on the very morals it tried to denounce after "He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water." The nonsensical speech attempting to whip people up into a patriotic frenzy while being delivered by someone unconfident and insecure which is illustrated by his rapid water drinking directly after his speech.
God Bless Uhmurica!
