Fight For French Delicacy


I am reporting from Normandy,
where a cheese war has started
between two hospitality business tycoons,
for acquiring the ownership of a shipload
of Brie and Comembert soft and creamy cheese,
heavily consumed popularly in their two outlets,
Wine and Cheese Tavern and Charcuterue Shack.

As the cheese ship arrived, 
the owners of these dining holes tried 
to negotiate the price with the Captain, but failed, 
for both the parties offered increasing competitive bids.
So, the indecisive Captain suggested 
they fight out the possession issue
in the cheese war, going on now for two months,
and seems not to end, for no one is winning.
The eventual owner might be getting
a shipload of rotten French delicacy.

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading about the "Cheese Wars" write. Oh no, not a shipload of rotten French delicacy. Have a day filled with cheese/fun as you write away.....................

Congrats on 6th place in my contest! Love the detail of a cheese shipment. Felt like the plot from the usual suspects. Incredible work! Gripping drama over cheese!
