An Ode on Cheese

Singing the praises of acidified solid milk

An Ode on Cheese

Feta is wettah,
But cheddah is bettah!
Parmesian is pleasin’;
Myzithra is Grezian!
And some of the cheesus
Have been here since Jesus!

So unless you’re a Vegan
(Or other weird Pagan),
Just age you some milk,
And join with our ilk
Of rennet-connoiterin’,
Blue-veined and loiterin’,
Lovers of dairies so old—
They stinks and crumbles with mold!
