Spinach Poem by Ima Ryma

Though spinach does have iron content,
Long ago in a study done,
Scientists did misrepresent
The iron amount by ten to one.
Then when the Popeye cartoon came,
He ate a can of spinach to
Quickly get super strength with aim
Of beating up bad guys to do.
So parents did use Popeye for
An example why spinach should
Be eaten by the kids much more,
Might taste bad but really was good.

Though spinach iron 'fact' was a lie,
Kids chowed it down, thanks to Popeye.
