YMMV / Where the Sidewalk Ends

• Broken Aesop: The poem "Merry..." points out the absence of enthusiasm for Christmas outside of its traditional season.
• Poor Man's Substitute: The poem "Poor Angus" portrays Angus as making do with unconventional and intangible substitutes for his needs, such as an omelet made of fluffy clouds and sky and a warm cloak made of hope and daffodils.
• The Woobie: The titular character of the poem "Benjamin Bunnn" is a sympathetic character who is trapped in his predicament, unable to remove his clothes.
