Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Popeye, Revised For Today

O, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
   Olive tells me I yams what I am
     I likes me spinach in an omelet or souffle
     'Cos that's how the navy prepares it today
   O, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! (Toot-toot)

David Fisher July 29, 2023 at 5:41 PM Ack, ack, ack...always love a Popeye poem, with a little olive oil on the side. Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:17 PM Olive always looked to me as if she could use an oil change --- minimum!

Robert Gorelick July 29, 2023 at 5:12 PM Even Popeye couldn't get me to eat spinach. He was always on leave, and never squared away! Lol clever one, Gershon. Robert Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:15 PM I hold my nose --- and still can't eat the spinach.

Shirley Hawkins July 28, 2023 at 6:15 PM A big step up from canned spinach. Toot-toot, Whoop-whoop. Thank you for the uplifting verse, Gershon Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:13 PM 'Canned spinach.' Just the thought of it makes me you-know-what. W.R. Etch

Kim Rodrigues July 28, 2023 at 5:41 PM LOL! It’s come out of the can and into the yolk! Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:09 PM Greenish yolk... Popeye's got green eggs now, and he's a real ham...

Sara Kendrick July 28, 2023 at 3:05 AM Cute one. A few leaves on a salad, a few leaves in a dip, souffles are good, I am hip. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:00 PM Hey, that's quite a hip comment, Sara. Were you a 'hippie' back in the day?! (Actually, I doubt it; but you never know...). Thanks, Gershon
