Nailed it.

Tell that to my narrowminded teacher who thinks poems have to have a meaning.

The meaning is somewhat satirical, and it criticises the modern thinking pattern where one expects all forms of art to have a deeper meaning behind them rather than accepting that some lyrical pieces are simply intended to entertain and/or amuse.

Bad teacher. Bad bad. People should be taught to be aware that all sorts of art can be interpreted in more than just one way. Give him/her a cold trout for Christmas.

-Claps.-

Reminds me of a thing I read before about poetry/literature. I think it was an example, where a teacher had claimed that the author's use of the word "blue" meant that the "author was depressed." Yet, there is the off-chance that the author just used "blue" as a colour... nothing more, nothing less.

Geh...

I write like a Dadaist; I guess. I don't have any meanings in my poems. I just write them. And, the teacher got mad at me. He told me to "be more clear" and I was like, "That's not the point...?"
