Barry Stebbings Poet Rhyme

The Wise Cheese

The Wise Cheese 


      An old and mature cheese of very great age,

     Considered among cheeses to be a sage,

     Spoke these wisdoms to the sausages and pies,

     “You depend on fillings, not on size.”
 
     Then all the cheeses gathered hands

     And danced the foxtrot in the sands.

     The pies replied, “Aged cheese, you are wise.”

     “They is sausages and we is pies.”

And a final thank you for your generous evaluation of my entry (8th place). Much appreciated. Best wishes of the season! ~ Gershon Barry Stebbings November 23, 2018 at 2:30 PM Thank you very much for your appreciation of my poem Gershon. // Barry
