There’s a call-back to this story in ''The House at Pooh Corner'' where, humorously, Pooh still refuses to accept that his overeating was the reason why he got stuck.

** In "In Which Christopher Robin Takes Pooh to an Enchanted Place and We Leave Them There", Eeyore tries to write a goodbye poem, but it doesn't go well -- he simply titles it "Poem", he keeps adding commentary on how good or bad the rhymes are, and at one point, he can't find a rhyme for "is", says, "Bother!", tries to find a rhyme for ''that'', and ends up saying, "Those two 'bother's will have to rhyme with each other. Buther!".
** In "In Which Tigger Comes to the Forest and Has Breakfast", Pooh writes a poem that has the line "Whatever his weight in pounds, shillings and ounces". Piglet doesn't like this line, since shillings are obviously not a weight, but Pooh says that the word "wanted" to be in the poem.
** In "In Which Pooh Invents a New Game and Eeyore Joins In", Pooh tries to write a poem about a fir tree, and comes up with "Here is a myst'ry about a little fir tree: Owl says it's his tree and Kanga says it's her tree", but decides it doesn't make sense as Kanga doesn't have a tree.

Eeyore surprisingly takes this to heart.
