Notes About The Poem

How Cheesy

She'd been lying on the table for some time  
crumbled from being assaulted in a crime      
The odor she issued had turned quite rank
Some would bluntly say, "Gawd, she stank!"

When her veins turned a gross shade of  blue
I knew I had to keep her away from my fondue
"Waiter, please find me another table or booth
Ruined is my appetite for cheese and vermouth."

Love the creativity in this, (and I'm so fond of Roquefort), and I needed a smile today ... never judge a "cheese" by it's odor, haha! Love it! :-)

Nicely written, Lin. That cheese even looks bad to me, glad I don't have to smell it. John

Thanks a bunch for liking this one, Rhoda. I appreciate your thoughts. For several reasons, I stopped entering contests a couple of months ago.
