This is a reference to the poem This Is Just to Say, where the narrator is apologizing for eating the plums in the icebox. In this comic, the joke is that Cueball cannot resist eating the plums from the icebox as a reference to the poem.
The title-text is a joke about trapping poets with references to their own poems, referencing another well-known poem, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
