Cheese Delight

“Say Cheese!!!” evokes smile’s spontaneity Captured in photographs, proving joy’s certainty Highlighting mirth’s contagious activity Showcasing bliss-laughter’s beauty Vanquishing gloom and despair of self-pity. “Oh Cheese!!!” Such is utterance of delight While captivated by awesome Cheddar’s sight Or fascinated by Parmesan’s color of yellow so bright Along homemade carabao-yield, flawlessly white Inviting pleasant cravings, gracious for healthy appetite. “Wow Cheese!!!” Grateful expression of contentment In crunching cheesy food around bonding engagement With sumptuous, delectable cheese-festive excitement Of viands … mixed, topped and whipped with cheesy merriment Bringing thumbs-up approval upon jubilant burp-fulfillment. “Share Cheese!!!” That’s a commendable giving gesture As blessed by God for reaching-out venture Correcting selfishness and gluttony’s posture So others can taste goodness of cheesy provisions’ pasture Toward thanksgiving* to the cheese-Source Who does nurture. *1Timothy 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving.
