Rotary Cheese Grater

I used to have cheese as a slice 
Boring , but it still tasted nice 
Then in Christmas 23 
I had a present bought for me 
What a marvel, what a sight 
Greeted my eyes that Christmas night 
For a while I had been waiting 
Now unwrapped, I could start grating ! 
Wife said  “put it away now,  do it later “
“No” said I - “give me my rotary grater”
I grated cheddar, then tried Brie,
Even a nice grilled halloumi.
I was quite the artisan 
With a block of Parmesan 
The piles of cheese grew bigger 
And the family could not figure
Why on that family Boxing Day 
I would grate, grate, grate away
Fat  grate , thin grate , powder grate 
Adorned the Christmas dinner plate 
My wife with eyes now wide and round, 
Said “ My oh my, that’s quite a mound !
“ I shaped the cheese into a wreath 
And said “if bits stick in your teeth “
“Don’t reach out for the dental picks, 
“ Jan’s also sent some dentastix”
