"The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
<span>
All on a summer day:The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,<span>
And took them quite away!"

The lines that contain metaphors are:
1)“My thoughts of you are golden coins”
2) “Stamped in the mint of memory”
A metaphor is a literary device that makes an implicit comparison between unrelated items or ideas. Despite of the fact that they seem to differ in many respects, there is a hidden connection between them. It differs from others figures of speech; namely Simile as it refers to an explicit comparison (use of “like” or “as”) that is established between to ideas or items.
In this particular poem, the author says that her thought is a very valuable treasure to her, especially because they are related to a special person to her. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between her thoughts and the treasured golden coins. Then, she continues adding another metaphor. She says that these precious memories will never disappear as they kept in her memory as golden coins are safe and properly stored in a mint.
Its irony, if the man is so great why would he hang him
The monkey garden becomes a symbol of the Garden of Eden in the Bible – a magical, perfect place where everything is innocent, but where something happens that causes a loss of innocence.
When Eve is tempted by the serpent and eats the forbidden fruit, Father makes Adam choose between Him and Eden, or Eve. Adam chooses Eve and eats the fruit, causing Father to banish them into the wilderness and destroying the Tree of Knowledge, from which Adam carves a staff.
