Cheese the Day

Of all the sights I daily sees
There’s none so wonderous as cheese!
In a block, wheel, sliced or shaken,
Correct me if I’m mistaken,
At the slightest whiff of cheddar
Concentration takes a header!
And throughout all the rank and file
“Say cheese!” is known to bring a smile.
Talk about sophistication,
How ‘bout Swiss for contemplation?
Seeking notice from a fella?
Pizza topped with mozzarella!
And then to firmly seal the deal
A cheesecake flatters any meal!
Yes, cheese is where the magic is!
(Why do you think they call it “wiz?”)
