Sonnet #1: Shall I compare thee…

It has occurred to me that I don’t write enough poetry. To rectify this woeful situation, I have decided to compose a series of sonnets. I’ll stop at the first fatality.

Shall I compare thee to a stilton cheese?

Thou art more fragrant and more likely to melt:

Rough wax does bind the squishy lumps of grease,

And rounds of curds do fill the bloated belt:

Sometime too hot the oven glows,

And often is the pale complexion burned;

And other cheeses melt into wet floes,

By broilers or the bubbly pastas churned,

But thy eternal cheddars are not fatty

Nor lose the lovely waxiness thou ownest;

Nor shall Ronald use you on a patty

When in the line-up at McD’s thou groanest.

So long as cows do milk or goats can baa,

So long lives this, and this makes you go “AAAAA!”
