Finally a poem about Cheese

Tags:  

Over the past few centuries poets have been strangely silent on one very important subject, (waits for dramatic tension to build) Cheese
here is my small attempt to remedy this problem

Extra Sharp Cheddar

Cheddar Cheese,
sharper than any sword
Lighter than a summer breeze,
eaten straight off the board

~Michael Kane

Provolone

A lovely white disc
With a light smoky flavor,
Though cutting it is quite a risk
Eating it is something to savor
~Michael Kane

Goat Gouda

A pungent savory treat,
Although it smells like feet,
You say it comes from a goat,
I think it spent too long on the boat,
~Michael Kane
PS: it doesn't really smell like feet

Velveeta

A bland flavorless mass,
Used only for texture,
It tastes like, donkey,
Of this I'm quite sure
~Michael Kane




I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am

Wow Michael,
I absolutely love this! Not just because I'm hungry for dinner either.

They have not invented the sharp cheddar of my dreams yet, but I keep hoping.

How about Gouda. Goat Gouda.

If you write a good poem about Goat Gouda....maybe I'll bring some to a ETC meeting so you can try it. It's worth an ode.

Oh yeah, and the writing was good too. I wouldn't want the topic to overwhelm the poetry. The summer breeze line creates good imagery.

Sorry Mary-Jean I've been grounded and haven't been able to post it, as soon as I dig it out of my folder I'll get it up here

No worries Michael, <br> And here I was worried that you were holding out for more cheese! <br>I know you'll get to it when there is an opportunity. <br> <br>Meanwhile, Niles is busy planning the next event...We hope you'll be able to attend it. <br> <br>The Little Cheese, Mary Jean

Gouda is done.

You really ought to give credit to the man who said it first: GK Chesterton. "The poets have been remarkable silent on the subject of cheese."

I forgot who the quote was from

Michael, 440 - days ago

my favorite is the quote at the bottom:

"i can't hear you over the sound of how awesome i am."

that sounds like something i would say in real life.

That's a joke about capt. James T. Kirk
