As we start the build up to the weekend ahead, may I now gracefully close the thread with the following poem written by C Jim Sitterly in 2006.
There's nothing quite like a piece of cheese,
to nibble upon for pleasure and ease.
No matter the time or state of mind,
greater joy than cheese you'll never find.
Served on a cracker or a soft piece of bread,
a morceau de fromage will please your head.
Roquefort, camembert, brie or blue,
served with fruit or in fondue.
God gave us cheese- a bit of heaven on earth,
to lift our burdens, providing sweet mirth.
And after all our daily work is done,
we enjoy simple cheese just for fun.
But remember the ancient custom of the house,
leave behind a kernel for the nocturnal mouse.
UP THE CHERRIES …………….
