P.S. Awtry Poet Rhyme

As a Matter of Cheese

There are many elitist cheeses.
They are all taste bud teases,
for none of them pleases
like cheddar.

Yes, I’m a fan of a few,
the asiago, brie and bleu.
But honestly I prefer cheddar,
don't you?

It’s the humble cheese of the masses.
It separates the classes.
The choice of any young lad or lass is
cheddar.

Whatever cheese you can name,
my refrain remains the same.
Yes, it sounds lame, but 
cheddar is better!

CayCay Godwin November 17, 2018 at 1:12 AM This is a cute cheesy entry, I like how you approached this with 'perkiness' - great fun to read. Yep, love cheddar, certainly buy and cook with it the most, but I've yet to meet a cheese I didn't adore, with the exception of many years ago at work when someone had brought cheese that smelled the rotten feet! (don't try that) All the best ... CayCay P.S. Awtry November 17, 2018 at 7:28 AM So far, I have liked all that I've had. But, cheddar rhymes with better ;) Thank you, CayCay for your visit and compliment xxx

Tom Cunningham November 16, 2018 at 2:14 PM Aghh a cheddar girl, I have tried many cheese's but always come back to cheddar, the stronger the better. There was a cheese contest a while back but I failed to spot the 20 line max so had to ditch that idea, The Great Cheddar cheese Robbery. Good luck. Tom. P.S. Awtry November 16, 2018 at 2:32 PM your cheddar tale is great! I found it earlier. After posting this, I was curious about other entries and found the one you speak of. I enjoyed it! You are an excellent rhyming story teller! Some of my favorite poems are ones I wrote for contests and somehow didn't get them in! :D

Caren Krutsinger November 16, 2018 at 11:11 AM Dear P.S., good luck in the cheese contest! I love cheddar, it is my favorite, but it must be sharp, like your poem. P.S. Awtry November 16, 2018 at 11:14 AM yes! cheddar is better and sharp is best! Thank you Caren!

Chris Green November 16, 2018 at 9:09 AM This was really good. I am a White American Cheese guy myself but cheddar is good too. Best of luck in the contest. P.S. Awtry November 16, 2018 at 9:23 AM thank you Chris!
