Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

STILTON CHEESE USED TO BE SERVED IN A TRUCKLE LIKE THE ONE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

Cheese and Wine Party

I went to a cheese and wine party on Saturday,
where huge platters of cheese were on display.
There was Gorgonzola and creamy white Brie,
I devoured huge chunks with a glass of Chablis.

Danish Blue, Mozzarella and Swiss Emmental,
of course I had to try a sample of them all!
I declined Edam and Gouda, I find them too waxy -
and the last time I ate them I was sick in the taxi!

Soft creamy Camembert and blue Roquefort,
went down a treat with a glass of vintage port.
Crumbly Cheshire and Cheddar were so divine,
and tasted heavenly with red Beaujolais wine.

I’d chomped through all of the Stinking Bishop,
our hostess had to restock the whole dish up!
Then I munched little cubes of Monterey Jack -
if my doctor saw me he’d have a heart attack!

When our host carried in a blue Stilton in a truckle,
I loosened a notch on my now straining belt buckle!
I admit blue cheese can smell like men's sweaty socks
but ripe Stilton and crackers, this cheese simply rocks!

Anisha Dutta November 17, 2018 at 8:30 AM Really a GORGEOUS poem on CHEESE. JAN, in India Cheese is not that popular as in western country. I am absolute ignorant about so many varieties of cheese. All the best. Jan Allison November 17, 2018 at 10:27 AM I've tried one type pf Indian cheese in a restaurant and found it quite bland I am sure there are others I would like:-) hugs Jan xx

Jerry T Curtis November 17, 2018 at 6:17 AM Very well done Jan, but I like to refer to my socks as smelling like......Blue Cheese and not the other way round. by the way how did you poop the next day Ha! Jan Allison November 17, 2018 at 8:11 AM lol Jerry and thankfully its a fiction poem and anyway I daren't mention my bowel habits as I am reliably told scatology is not a subject for poets to write about - what a load of crap that is lol :-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus November 16, 2018 at 4:39 PM OH! I love this one, Jan...as much as I love cheese! The only problem is that cheese and cholesterol do not see eye to eye! Cheese, crackers, Maltese crusty bread and a glass of wine...heavenly! Hugs // paul Jan Allison November 16, 2018 at 5:15 PM Aww Thanks so much for the lovely comment and fave , you have made my day in so many ways:-) hugs Jan xx Paul Callus November 16, 2018 at 4:41 PM This deserves to be faved!!

Gershon Wolf November 14, 2018 at 1:00 PM Much better than a wine and cheese party any day. After a little wine, who can actually taste the cheese anyway? So I like it your way: Cheese first, then wine! G.L. in the contest, Jan. :) gw Jan Allison November 16, 2018 at 8:32 AM Just cheese for me Gershon I rarely drink alcohol these days:-) hugs Jan xx

Constance La France November 13, 2018 at 8:17 AM Jan, I love this poem, I love all cheese like an addiction, I need help really, there should be an AA for cheese, but this is delightful for the contest and after all that wine, you were probably a little tipsy too.
