Cheesy Poetry

Blog week entry

“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
― G.K. Chesterton.

Pass me the cheese board,
Ooh what should I pick.
Nothing not vegan
Or I will be sick.

You see I have a dairy allergy. But my poetry is kinda cheesy. I don't know if you've ever checked out the vegan alternatives. They definitely do not inspire me to break into verse.

Maybe Chesterton was only reading English poetry. Other European nations are so proud of their cheeses I am sure they must have waxed lyrical in their own languages. Fromage, kase, formaggio, queso, queijo, sir, branza, ser ... It's all cheesy.

In Chesterton's time there was no Stinking Bishop or Cornish Yarg. Britain now has so many cheeses and they are beating the French in competitions. I'll bet we're winning no prizes with our vegan alternatives though. And I'm winning no prizes for my poetry.
