More Cheese, Please



Written for the 30-day creative writing challenge hosted by Nicky and Mike of We Work For Cheese.  Today's prompt is cheese.

Cheese, cheese, beautiful cheese
Provolone, Swiss and Edam

Colby, Jack and Muenster, too
You just can't beat 'em

A plate of Havarti, creamy and fine
So lovely with a glass of wine

For my pizza I gotta say
Mozzarella makes my day

Gouda, oh Gouda, smokey or plain
Drives my Quesadillas insane

Mac and cheese down on the farm
With lots of Cheddar and a little Parm

What more can I say about this food prepared from the pressed curd of milk?  More cheese, please!

  3. Interestingly enough, considering it's about my least favorite food, I actually like this little poem. Well done. ;)

  4. Fantastic! I'm not even going to make fun of you a little bit, it was that good. You get 20 points for this one! :-)

  5. I really wish you hadn't mentioned Mac 'n Cheese. It's lunchtime here, and I'm starving. But I won't be satisfied unless I can get me some, and that's not likely since McMac 'n Cheese hasn't launched their franchise yet.

  7. Do you REALLY like cheese this much, or are you just rhyming us down the primrose path?

    (either way, it was fun :)
