  • on My Papa's Waltz by Theodore Roethke, on November 3, 2005
    I studied this poem in my English 100 class in university just recently and my class was torn between whether the boy was just having a good time with his dad or whether he was being abused. Personally I agree with Davidson on this one. I think the boy is simply having a good time dancing around with his drunken father and making a mess.
