Blue Cheese

My wife stands beside my chair and looks down on me like a child “I promise you will like it,” she said and smiled "The real star of your salad is the blue cheese." I looked up full lips pouting and displease. No matter how hard I try to pinch my nose it's still gross, it makes me squirm all the way to my toes, it still smells. I squeeze my eyes and swallow, chasing it down with glass of water knowing what will follow. She puts blue cheese on a thousand things, blue cheese on anchovies pizza and peas, in dipping sauce for Buffalo Wings blue cheese on chicken sandwiches and hamburger patties. No! I beg please blue cheese makes me sneeze and wheeze. 1-21-2018

Lol. Poor Eve. This is an entertaining write. (By the way, I love blue cheese in fresh spinach salad and on my medium rare prime rib.)

An enjoyable, entertaining poem, Eve. I have nothing against blue cheese, but I can understand why some people react to its smell. Hugs // paul

I'm not a big blue cheese fan either much preferring the zesty italian dressing! A fun and humorous depiction for the contest Eve! Good luck in it!~Che :)

haha, I see Jan down here saying she adores blue cheese. I don't like it. I'm with you on this one! Is this for the contest? I think there is a line limit (I know i wanted to say a lot more on gross meats but had to stop at 12 lines) Cute poem, dear.
