Homage to Fromage


Any foodie on the brink

Of getting moody thinks

Of the dear dairy panacea 

Culinary kinks

Cultural links

Gourmet high jinx


Where the nods & the winks

Go to the food of the Gods

The sexy minx that really stinks


A noble global endeavour

Palette caged by a rare

Cave aged Gruyere


Arty farty dolcelatte party

Comte & cheddar

Smutty nutty double header


Camembert flair

Prouder of Gouda

Stilton to share

Or louder Parmesan fan 

Even when it’s powder?


Aristocratic blue vein

More a Roquefort sort

Or St Augur holds court

Emphatic stench & stain


Tester of Red Leicester

What's better than Feta

Double Gloucester no imposter

Boursin or St Paulin on the roster


Snarl if there's no emmental

Pecorino the Ferrari Dino

Halloumi whispers consume me


New coup for Exmoor blue

Hail the tale of Wensleydale

Willy nilly grab a slab of Philly

Wealthier folks say Philadelphia 

On the grounds sounds healthier


Right now is Ricotta somehow hotter

Or creamy dreamy Burrata smarter

Kowtow to Yarg from Celtic Kernow

Homage to fromage global trotter


Whatever floats your boat

High roller Gorgonzola

Maybe Goat gets your vote 

Or those in the know

Gloat..chose sheep & Manchego


Young or well hung

Given time in the cellar

Yippee glee of smelly brie

But won’t sneer at Paneer

Mozzarella can be stellar


Even give a damn about Madame Edam

Stringy Raclette the best bet yet  

Or the goo of Fondue more you

Can't sledge a wedge of Old Amsterdam


Primula still familiar

Wary of the not rated

Scary squirting lube 

You squeeze with ease

Flirting fairy out of a tube

Ill fated.. hated pre grated 

Diced into a nice cube


Drastic or fantastic vices 

Chose those plastic elastic slices

Could plea for some Dairy Lea 

Fell under that Babybel spell

Or pray tell a stash of well maybe

Laughing cow oui Le Vache qui Rit
