I believe Maisy is correct in her interpretation and I would also like to address one other comment, about a rhyme stylised in the manner of Dr. Suess being inappropriate considering the magnitude of what happened...
this poem in no way down-plays the horror of what happened on September 11th. The purpose of the poem was to show patriotism. If you haven't noticed, Americans are using patriotism as a method of dealing with the death and destruction,
and there's nothing wrong with that. Being argumentive and over-analyzing doesn't help anyone, and we do need help.
