Popeye

The sailorman named Popeye
better known as Olive Oyl’s guy
seemed nothing more than an affable fishmonger
until he downed spinach to make him stronger

Popeye and Olive’s Spinach Spree

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I gulp spinach straight from the can
I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I am—
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
I’m strong to the finish,
’cause I gulp down my spinach,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

Now Olive Oyl, she made a vow—
“No spinach for me, not ever, not now!”
But she’ll kiss me tonight,
’cause

The Wonders Of Spinach

My favorite vegetable
It's nutritious and delicious 
Used in sinigang and adobo
Good to make for soup too
It's easy to farm and produce
Less maintenance and less work
A short crop but has long harvest
A sustainable source of business too.

I Wanted To Be Like Popeye

I have to have it! I told my mother
Because I wanted to be Popeye
I wanted to develop those arm muscles
I wanted to save the day, and fight the bad guys

My mother finally broke down and bought it.
Canned spinach. I could hardly wait to gulp it down.
Wait a second! YUCK! 
I did not eat spinach for

While Eating Spinach

Set a new record for writing limericks
Wrote this clever one in less than a minute
Took quite a risk
Of dislocating a disc
And to top it all off, I was eating spinach<>

Out-Running Time

Blueberries, nuts, assorted fruits
Spinach, kale, and vegetable roots
One glass of Cabernet each night
Walk, then meditate--get it right
Running from aging, you can see
Alas, time has caught up with me!

Spinach Lover

I once met a funny man named Minnach
Who was sold on eating tons of spinach
He loves his greens so much
He puts them on his mush
And adds them to a P B & J sandwich!

Experts Insist On a Bovine Contribution In the War Against Climate

I'm Olive, a once flatulent cow.
Spinach is all I eat now.
That silly green grass
is a thing of the past,
for a new wind is blowing this hour.
To methane reduction all power!
If you're a cow too,
show assent by a moo.

Comment:
What could be odder
than this switch to new fodder?

The Virtues of Canned Spinach

Lumpy, limp spinach
  so uninviting
Steaming spinach souffle
  so exciting

Popeye downed the first kind
  straight from the can
Olive never had to learn
  to make souffle for her man

Cartoons implied: Canned spinach
  gave Popeye superpowers
'Course 'Wonder Bread' built strong bodies
  twelve different ways in half an hour

Finish Spinach Then Did Replenish

Finish S[inach Then Did Replenish

when we would finish
then we had to replenish
all of the spinach

Spinach Takes a Backseat

Folks suppose that Spinach
  is Popeye's favorite food
But the Sailor Man told me
  Olive Oil tastes pretty good

They'Ll Stomp On Your Spinach

At the express lane in the local supermarket
Don't try getting through with one over the limit
Dirty looks you will get
And bad mouthing I'll bet
They'll push you down and stomp on your spinach
