Notes About The Poem
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 ??
Rotary Cheese Grater
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”
