Lobsters!

I tried my hardest to think about the poem, "Lobsters" in an outside of the box way. I thought of some interesting ideas, but many very different ideas from my own were brought up in the discussion.One of them was that the lobsters represented the lower class of our society, and the customer represented the upper class. The customer picked from the lobsters as he pleased, not giving the lobsters any say. This represents how society is in some parts of the world.
After hearing this idea the poem began to make more sense to me. People of lower class may not look very important on the outside, but they feed the growth of humanity. Though I'm not sure if this is what they author was attempting to show, it sounds right to me. I really enjoyed reading this poem!
