By the Cheese Tray

It’s another sordid workplace affair Organized by the dashing and flamboyant Pierre There should be a warning to beware Bad week to start any diet – o what despair Millions of calories everywhere On one side a mountain of chocolate éclair On the other a huge tray of Camembert It was hard enough to squeeze my derriere Half-way out of this big cozy armchair Till I managed to park myself elsewhere Next to the cheese tray I do declare There’s more than enough to share I volunteered to sample so let them stare Trying to look casually debonair As my butt widens with each bite I’m aware No one ever said life is fair AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on November 19, 2018 for contest WRITE A POEM ABOUT CHEESE sponsored by BARRY STEBBINGS - RANKED 8TH

Bwahahaha!!! ;D I LOVE this! It reminds me of my old workplace (except, we didn't have the "dashing and flamboyant Pierre"... what great fun!

Thanks, Rhona. Come to think of it I think I was the Pierre at all my workplaces... minus the flamboyance and dash. LOL

Miss Line, Where to start, funny and a great story. But what I like best is every line rhymes. Hard to do. I think you are the best poet on this sight. You can write any style any topic. Impressive.

LOL Timothy, you are far too kind. I find monorhymes a lot of fun for letting loose and being silly.
