Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Don'T 'Brie Leave' a Word

I consulted a tyromancer
To see if I could find an answer
She consulted some cheese
And told me so much sleaze
I’m convinced she’s just a fat chancer!

Written after I read an article in the dentist’s waiting room today and I discovered that Tyromancy is form of divination involving observation of cheese, especially as it coagulates

Agnes Krampe September 19, 2017 at 9:58 PM for real??? The things I learn here... Jan Allison September 20, 2017 at 3:35 AM Yes its for real Agnes lol. I think its something they used to do in the past and for some reason it didn't catch on lol. I wrote down the word and composed 4 lines whilst i was sitting in the waiting room as the dentist was running late.:-) hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich September 19, 2017 at 7:01 PM haha, very clever, my friend! Jan Allison September 19, 2017 at 7:03 PM They had an emergency at the dentist which meant all our appointments were 30 mins late so I had time to look through a magazine and I learned a new word which I will probably never ever use again lol:-) hugs jan xx

Joseph May September 19, 2017 at 1:59 PM I've heard of tea leaves, but cheese reading is new to me.. Jan Allison September 19, 2017 at 2:03 PM I'd never heard of it until i read an article in the dentist's waiting room and i wrote 4 lines of the poem before I went in to see the dentist. I never know when inspiration will strike:-) hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith September 19, 2017 at 12:36 PM The world that we live is awfully strange...haha Jan Allison September 19, 2017 at 12:46 PM I couldn't resist writing a poem about this odd word, its strange where I get my inspiration from lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison September 19, 2017 at 10:40 AM I'd never heard of it until I read an article in a magazine about old fashioned words:-) hugs jan xx

Wish I could replace that for you with my own memory of Brie (flesh only) with fresh basil on silky soft baguette, with sunshine and dear friends. ;) cheers! Jan Allison September 19, 2017 at 9:26 AM Melted brie turns my stomach and reminds me of the time i went to stay with a pen pal and his mother served it with pasta and the brie still had the skin on... I've never eaten it since!!!! lol:-) hugs jan xx
