Ack, ack, ack...always love a Popeye poem, with a little olive oil on the side.

Olive always looked to me as if she could use an oil change --- minimum!

Even Popeye couldn't get me to eat spinach. He was always on leave, and never squared away! Lol clever one, Gershon. Robert

I hold my nose --- and still can't eat the spinach.

A big step up from canned spinach. Toot-toot, Whoop-whoop. Thank you for the uplifting verse, Gershon

'Canned spinach.' Just the thought of it makes me you-know-what. W.R. Etch

LOL! It’s come out of the can and into the yolk!

Greenish yolk... Popeye's got green eggs now, and he's a real ham...

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

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
