You know how cheese
Sometimes gets moldy and blue?
How milk oftimes curdles
And smells bad too?
How babies (tho’ cute)
Love to be cuddled
But every so often
Carry a definite phew?
How dogs (and cats)
Our beloved companions
Sometimes develop a certain aura
And reek to high Heaven?
How certain cheeses
Can stink like bejesus
Like limburger and Havarti
Like any dead thing I must say
Well…We all have our mood swings
Our good days and bad days
And so sad to say….
That these oft used cliches
Describe to a T
The mood that I’m in
…Today…

I'm just a lowly cheddar cheese ball, come roll away with me
past gastronomical delights, to taste and smell and see
varieties of cheeses that stretch on across the miles
that vie for the attention of hungry cheese-o-philes!
Some are common kinds of chumps like Jack and Mozzarella
used in down home sandwich shops, or finely sliced on pizza tops.
Then there's the Italian clan for the sophisticated pallet
like Romana and Gargonzola that rank high on the cheese ballot.
European cheeses are delectable, such as Havarti and Guyere
ranging from mild to smoky rich, they have that nutty flare.
On top of the cheesy food chain are most certainly the French
who've made an art of nuance that puffs out their cheesy chests
with Blue de Basse and Camembert, they are among the best.
But the BIG cheese, queen of cheeses, is the creamy, heavenly Brie
mixed with raspberries and chocolate, it's as delightful as can be
eaten with or d'oeuvres or paired with the finest wine
no other cheese is more superb, delicious or sublime.
And yet, some folks still prefer a lowly, cheddar cheese ball
and for them, I truly am the greatest cheese of all!

A Sharp Cheddar sun,
with a Swiss cheese moon.
A Blue cheese river flowing,
with sweet Romano fumes.
A Parmesan pathway,
with some String cheese logs.
To enjoy the Asiago butterflies,
and the Fontina frogs.
Gouda birds singing,
in the Mozzarella trees.
Havarti caterpillars climbing,
on the Pepper Jack leaves.
Aged Cheddar flowers,
with Fontina bees.
A cottage cheese mountain,
and a Lorraine Swiss breeze.
Here I will stay forever,
in this lovely land of cheese.
If you care to stop by,
bring some crackers please.
