He knew better but may have taken 'poetic license' for
purposes of scansion and rhyme.

I've Prioli's book on Patton's poetry. He took no

Tiger Tiger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What Thunderbolt or Tank Guy,
Could smash thy fearful symmetry?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Blood makes the grass grow
Kill! Kill! Kill!
