Toasted Red Cheddar

This is one of my favourites
sitting down at end of the day
with a big mug of coffee plus
two slice red cheddar toasted on tray

The toasted cheese is done on grill
making it sizzle and bubble what a thrill!
the redness flows down its side
put on so thick it looks like a hill

As you put the toast to your mouth
your senses are raised such a height
anticipation is raised to 100 per cent
your mind pictures your very first bite

This is your last bite before bed
making you sleep so very deep
if you were to pass away at night
your last abiding memory  to keep

So I loved my toasted cheese
but now need to keep myself in shape
it's so fattening on the waistline
so must fight it to shorten the tape

I've loved toasted cheese sandwiches since I was a kid. And here in Wisconsin, we are known for making some of the best cheeses... A great poem on the tasty topic, Gordon. I enjoyed it very much! Nice work :)
