"Higher and Higher"

I listened to To Our Children's Children's Children yester-day and noticed a handful of features.

The first line of "Higher and Higher" exhibits alliteration:  "Blasting, billowing, bursting forth with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes."  I think it's significant that the alliterative sound here is a plosive.  In a way, these plosives give the sense of a rocket's propulsion.
