When Louise Cut the Cheese

She was such a prim and proper wife.

When asked to cut the cheese, she'd ask her spouse to, please

because she did not like to use a knife.

But sometimes she would sneeze.

She could not help it then; she'd cut the cheese!

At such time, we'd be holding our noses.

It's for sure we were not smelling roses,

and we all would cry out, "Geez, Louise!"

A little humor goes a long way. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Thanks for stopping by again on my work about my heart. Sara

This poem really made me laugh because I have said that "Geez, Louise!" so many times over things. I hope Barry has as much fun reading this as I did Andrea! : )

You went there, to "Jan-land." I don't know why, but I can't get comfortable with going 'there' like others are, yet it doesn't bother me a bit. I'm just weird. I was highly entertained and, pardon the pun, I didn't know you had this in you. Enjoyed! Love ... CayCay

Nice one, Andrea, though I'm not sure this is what Barry meant with a poem about cheese (this is the first thing I though of as well when I saw the contest). Love your sense of humor. Best of luck. John
