sorry... one more thing... you say the images are from the poem- that is only slightly true...
taking literary illusions and poetic phrases and turning them into literal cartoon images.. is less than honest representation...
an example:
The Star Spangled Banner
by Francis Scott Key
Oh! say can you see, (hold up image of eyes)
by the dawn's early light, (hold up a lighter)
What so proudly we hailed (hold up image of taxi)
at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad (hold up image of big woman)
stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, (hold up image of boxers)
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? (throw streamer)
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, (pop a popper)
Gave proof through the night(hold up image of starry sky)
that our flag was still there;
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave (hold up image of people waving)
O'er the land(hold up image of dirt)
of the free
and the home of the brave?(hold up image of Native American Brave)
