Assignment #9

Truthfully, I do not understand the poem, mainly because I have never seen the show Pop-eye, so I don't get the references to it.  I think this hinders my understanding of the poem, and I wish that I knew all that he was referencing to.  All that I know about Pop-eye is that spinach makes him strong, and that's not very much to go off of.  So I don't think that I have enough information to make an educated opinion on the poem. My favorite line would have to be "But you can't do that--he hasn't even finished his spinach," because it is the only line that I really understand the reference.
