Listen to poem:
Cheese Pie
Cheese Pie*
No-one knows the secret
It's the recipe of kings
A little piece of heaven
With the sense of joy it brings
There's the thinly veiled outer
Shielding substance deep and rich
Like the satisfying scratching
Of an ancient yearning itch
Too many have attempted
And it's easy to be burned
The balance is so delicate
Reputation must be earned
Applauded for such talent
Consumed as validation
It's the beauty of the long sigh
At the start of a vacation
It's not a solo venture
This beach holiday without end
For this pie is only tasty
If you're sharing with a friend
