Cut the cheese, please


(for G.K. Chesterton's birthday)

Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
Gilbert K(eith) Chesterton b. May 29, 1874



With ease the novice rhymes of cheese,
And fills his master with unease:
     No big cheese writes a cheesy poem.
     He cuts the cheese from stately tome.

  1. Think I'm gonna have to write a cheese poem now. So true, this is one poetically undervalued milk product. :)
