Kevin Shaw Poet Rhyme

Blue Cheese

Blue Cheese

There is Cheshire, Red Leicester, Emmental and Brie,
Double Gloucester and Edam, a delight for all to see,
Stilton, Caerphilly, or Cheddar mature and mild,
Lots of subtle flavours to drive my taste bud’s wild.

There is Lancashire, Wensleydale or Derby to please,
So why, oh’ why, would you serve me Blue Cheese?
That smelly Blue cheese you know I cannot stand,
Give me Shropshire Mild, or something rather bland.

I don’t want that stinking dairy, in my salad box,
Opening the lid to an odour of sweaty socks.
So, hear my request I am begging of you please,
No more, no more, of that smelly blue cheese.

Rhoda Tripp January 6, 2018 at 1:00 PM Lol, Kevin...Love this wit! I love a fresh spinach salad with blue cheese crumbles, dried cranberries, pecans and raspberry vinagrette. Also, I love a blue cheese topper on prime rib. Funny how our palates differ.

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2018 at 4:58 PM Good, I was able to find it alphabetically in your poetry pages. OK, this is a very fun poem, Kevin. When I saw your contest topic, I got excited because this is one I can really get into. Thanks for the great example. I am like you. I can tolerate a little of it, but I have no idea why anyone would choose this as a very good cheese to eat! Love your contest idea and I bet you will get a lot of nice entries.

M. L. Kiser July 11, 2017 at 4:28 AM I'm a big cheese lover and I love poetry, too. This gave me quite a good laugh. Thanks.
