Notes About The Poem

Holy cow there are a lot of different cheeses, most of them are delicious. Enjoy!

A Bit Cheesy

As I do wish to appease...Mr. G.K. 
There are some things about cheese...that I would like to say 
Served anywhere...on a plate or a tray 
Held by tooth picks...yes, that is okay 

It's delicious to eat...although, sometimes smelly 
But it makes everyone toot...when it sits in your belly 
It's easy to find...it's in every deli 
One of my favorites...is cream cheese with jelly

One kind of cheese...that I'll never miss 
Is filled with holes...they call that kind swiss 
Assorted on a platter...It's one I'll dismiss 
And certainly a cheese I won't eat...when giving a kiss
 
Another one that's good...and I swear I don't lie 
When I say that I use it...baked in a pie 
I use it in quiche...give it a try 
Originated in France...wii, a soft chunk of brie
 
Past down from my ancestor's...who are now long foregone 
My absolute favorite...which holds the baton 
I grate on my pasta...and put a lot on 
Made by Pecora-Romano...a fine parmesan

oh yes. Parmesan and romano. those are wonderful. Americans eat lots of cheddar and mozarella, so those are my tops too. But actually goat cheese, feta I think, is supposed to be one of the healthiest. This is an awesome poem because like you, I love cheese (I am looking for mama's ditty, to see an example for your contest, but I can't find it)

Congrats on your win, Charles. My ultimate favorite cheese is Brie - do some people actually pronounce it BRY? LOL

I had to smile, chuckle, and laugh at this one. I too am not fond of SWISS.

What's better than having a good chuckle with a slice of cheese.. Just not SWISS...LOL Thank you, Caren.
