Cheesed-Off Charlie

It bloats me out and makes me wheeze; I have an allergy to cheese Which makes it hard to find a mate For reasons I shall now relate. A simple sniff of curds and whey Provokes an itchy rash display. So cheesaholics need to know That for my sake, the cheese must go! This ultimatum has a flaw For cheese exerts a pungent draw. So far, I’ve lost my sweet Viola To a tasty ‘Gorgonzola’. Then sweet Suzanne from ‘gai Paris’ * Preferred a mild and creamy ‘Brie’. And as for fit and feisty Hedda; She deserted me for ‘Cheddar’. All dreams that Kate would see it through Were melted by a cheese fondue, And hopes were shattered too when Claire Would not forsake her smooth gruyère. The list is long – they came and went Preferring taste to sentiment. And even ‘Stinking Bishop’ won The heart of Rose : I felt outdone! But now at last, I’ve found my match; A truly ‘made-in-heaven’ catch. It’s serious! I’m on my knees! She’s vegan and averse to cheese! * ( French pronunciation'Paree') 12/11/18 'Write a poem about cheese contest' : Sponsored by: Barry Stebbings
