comparing irony

next to of course god america i

love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh

say can you see by the dawn's early my

country 'tis of centuries come and go

and are no more what of it we should worry

in every language even deafanddumb

thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry

by jingo by gee by gosh by gum

why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-

iful than these heroic happy dead

who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter

they did not stop to think they died instead

then shall the voice of liberty be mute?

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water

 this whole poem is a ironic statement being made, we as americans just got out of a war, and lost a lot of people and the man is talking really fast about we love america and how great we are and how happy it is to be dead,

 Alanis Morissette

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic, don't you think

 this song lyric write here talks about irony literally the name of the title is named irony. so it like the poem it talks about the same thing in a different situation. and how a old man is already won money, but was about to die any way and then the next day actually dying after getting the money. and her whole song talks about ironic things happening.
