Plums
My icebox plum trap easily captured William Carlos Williams. It took much less work than the infinite looping network of diverging paths I had to build in that yellow wood to ensnare Robert Frost.

This is one of 66 incomplete explanations:
This page was created by a rebellious icebox. Don't remove this notice too soon. If you can fix this issue, edit the page!This is a reference to the William Carlos Williams poem This Is Just to Say, in which the narrator is apologizing for eating the plums in the icebox. In this comic, the joke is that Cueball, learning that the person out of view has left themselves some plums in the refrigerator for tomorrow, cannot resist eating them as a reference to the poem.
The title text is another joke about trapping poets with situations based on their own poems, it is about another well-known poem, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, which has been recently referenced in another comic, 3076: The Roads Both Taken. Of course, constructing a network of infinitely branching paths would be physically impossible for Cueball.[citation needed]
