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." ~Not contest bound~

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

It was such a fun write. I had to stop myself before it got too ripe. Ha ha...thanks so much, Connie.
