― G.K. Chesterton.

Make this quote the start of your blog today.


I never thought about if poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese or not. However, as a poet myself, Isn't it kind of cheesy to write about cheese? Ha-ha, can't help my sense of humor.

Well maybe I should throw one in here just for the pun, I mean fun of it.

Poets Don't Want to Be Cheesy

Not many poets write about cheese.
Poets don't want to be cheesy you know.
We aim for the reader to please
With words that smoothly flow.

However, there are many types of cheese
From the opportunity we may seize.
Musty and moldy is not a type desired
A unique and savory flavor is required.

Mild cheddar or Colby is what I prefer
Makes a great snack or adds flavor to any meal.
To which cheese do you like to refer?
Who knew cheese could be such a big deal?

Well, that was fun. What do you think of my cheesy poem? I am trying to make this blog entry consist of a certain number of words. So, rattling on I must continue.

My family uses around 2 pounds of shredded cheese a month. We usually get 32 to 48 slices of sandwich cheese. And we will also consume a couple of blocks of cheese too. This family likes their cheese. I do too but it's not good for my cholesterol.

Scrambled eggs with cheese on biscuits makes a yummy breakfast. Add a little sprinkle of shredded cheese to almost anything. I even like it in my soup. Sliced cheese on crackers will sometimes make a not as healthy snack. Add some lunch meat too. Now you know one of my guilty pleasures. Did I mention I love cheese?

Unfortunately, I didn't come to weigh over 200 pounds by just eating lettuce. Speaking of lettuce, does anyone else think it is getting expensive or is it just me? What do you think? Does it cost more to eat healthy or junk food, long run or short term either way? Who knows what food you can trust these days? Our world seems to have gone crazy.
