Ode to Cheese

"Poets have hitherto been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."  -  G.K. Chesterton

Some speak of ambrosia that would bring men to their knees
Some would honour ice cream that would cause their brains to freeze
Some swoon over peppered steaks, though pepper just makes you sneeze
But I simply cannot live without a little piece of cheese

Cheese that king of foodstuffs the taste of summer leas
Cheese that wonder of the world, leaves me swaying like the breeze
Cheese the acme of our skill, the soft and tempting tease
When cheese is offered 'cross the board my answer is 'Yes please!'
