What is the poem doing in the story? Benjamin Nugent could have just said the poem existed, described what it was about, and left it at that. But he wrote the poem. How is it as a poem? Is it a good poem?
I thought as a poem is was fine and I'm glad the writer did include it since there is a time where it's just a placeholder for poem or song. The poem itself could be a lot of different topics and I would have liked it on its own but somehow in the story, it's out of place.
Can you explain why it's "out of place"?
