Writer G.K. Chesterton lived from 1874 to 1936. Obviously, poets during his time had more pressing matters to write about than a love of cheese or he never read Arthur Conan Doyle’s delicious masterpiece, A Parable:
“The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there,
And warmly debated the matter;
The Orthodox said that it came from the air,
And the Heretics said from the platter.
They argued it long and they argued it strong,
And I hear they are arguing now;
But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,
Not one of them thought of a cow.”
I was going to write a cheesy poem myself, but how do I top that one?

Make it saucy?
Saucy sounds good!
I’m glad you Muenstered up the courage to write about cheese. 🧀😉
Hahahahahaha!!!
That cheese poem hit the spot this morning. I can’t believe no one thought of the cow. I guess that is the way experts think. They must have forgotten about Occam;s razor.
I did not know about Occam’s razor, so thanks for enlightening me. Learn something new every day! And, with that, I may need to eat a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch – a minimal lunch!
It’s basicly a theory that perfers a simple explanation to the complicated. Give a problem to a group of experts, and they will complicate the matter every time.
True. Stay away from the IT group!
I am a cheese-head (sort of) and this was a delicious poem about the absurdity of committee debates.
In my work life, I was on one or two of those committees…but usually the one rolling my eyes.
Funny, funny. I knew none of this.
Neither did I, Ally. I should be more aware of this poetry since I am from the land of cows and cheese.
Haha! This is great, Mary.
Thanks Cheryl! 🙂
He also wrote the Father Brown mysteries,
I will have to investigate further. I see there are a number of Father Brown books and a TV series based on those books.
Good message, too! We have to get outside and look around.
Yes we do, JoAnna. Thanks!
This was just the thing I needed to read, Mary. Cheesy goodness is the best.
Right! I hope you get your share of cheese…always.
