My sister in law gave me 2 presents for Christmas- A rotary cheese grater and a packet of dentastix for my dog. The perfect subject for a Christmas poem ??

I used to have cheese as a slice Boring , but it still tasted nice Then in Christmas 23 I had a present bought for me What a marvel, what a sight Greeted my eyes that Christmas night For a while I had been waiting Now unwrapped, I could start grating ! Wife said “put it away now, do it later “ “No” said I - “give me my rotary grater” I grated cheddar, then tried Brie, Even a nice grilled halloumi. I was quite the artisan With a block of Parmesan The piles of cheese grew bigger And the family could not figure Why on that family Boxing Day I would grate, grate, grate away Fat grate , thin grate , powder grate Adorned the Christmas dinner plate My wife with eyes now wide and round, Said “ My oh my, that’s quite a mound ! “ I shaped the cheese into a wreath And said “if bits stick in your teeth “ “Don’t reach out for the dental picks, “ Jan’s also sent some dentastix”

This is a laugh riot! The grating got greater as it went along.
