Long Stilton Poems

She wore pineapple rings for glasses
and walked like jelly dances
I didn't rate her chances
She used to wee standing up
she cooked lemon a'la duck
won the lottery, grumbled what bad luck
like a surgical nip, without the tuck.
She'd...

Leading his horse in the heat of the day
Been gone a long time but he still knows the way
Just a few shacks when he went for the gold
He’d found a few nuggets but now he’s...

I followed milky and mouldy scents,
down cobbled and narrow paths,
only to see it riddled with rats,
feasting on Feta and Camembert,
whilst the wine sipping Uppers prepared to
clash against the cider swigging downers!

The Fromage Frenzy and Curd...

 What Llama Lil Saw in Baghdad

In Llama Lil's Cafe eating crackers and Stilton 
surveying the street and reading Milton 
Sits a strange and moody itinerant 
Icon for a well-known roll-on deoderant 
Under cover spy...

I awoke this morning in a reflective state,
Considering my life in the Johnston estate, 
And my trials and tribulations as a mouse,   
Living, as I am, actually, beneath their house.

Cats, birds, and everything...

Despite my high cholesterol, I will pop another statin in
The texture, the flavour, the smell, the pure cheesiness
but to overindulge could lead you into queasiness

I went to a cheese and wine party on Saturday,
where huge platters of cheese were on display.
There was Gorgonzola and creamy white Brie,
I devoured huge chunks with a glass of Chablis.

i love to eat, it is my dream to eat and eat,

up half a pound of hake, but that is nothing

brave the winds of Patagonia,
hike along an Everest ridge,
visit Paul Gaugin’s Tahiti,

Dining with devotion
generates joy and satisfaction;
with best food served on the table,
truly, an act of celebration.
I dawdle in getting to the food
to let others take their choice;
my favorites showcase their flavor
filled with a finely made...

What color is it? that luminous light
throwing patterns past midnight under my 
archway, and on the sand of the ocean
where I used to walk, wading home in the surf
from Moore's dance floor, where there was...

Hickory, dickory, dock.
Jerry the mouse ran up the clock
Tom smelled him from afar
Jumped up on top like a star.

Jerry as always was quite wise.
And with a rod struck Tom’s eyes.
The cat fell nastily on the...

Blue Cheese

There is Cheshire, Red Leicester, Emmental and Brie,
Double Gloucester and Edam, a delight for all to see,
Stilton, Caerphilly, or Cheddar mature and mild,
Lots of subtle flavours to drive my taste bud’s wild.

There is Lancashire,...

It's liquid love
A favourite glug
A bowl, a cup
Perhaps a mug

When Winter calls
With icy breath
Some steamy joy
Puts cold to death

With hands enclosed
Around this pot
Enticing fluid
Nice and hot

Tomato, mushroom
Hard to choose 
Or leafy green
Asparagoos

A steamy broth
Like joyous...

I don’t have a lingering doubt
That cheese is the gods’ gift to man.
It compliments other fine foods
Whether peppery, salty or bland.

There’s gorgonzola and Stilton,
Emmental, muenster and bleu,
There’s limburger, feta and Jack,
And hundreds of others, too.

When...
