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?

This post has been brought to you by a masterful piece of cheese and Linda Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday. If you are wondering what One-Liner Wednesday is all about, CLICK HERE.
Linda G. Hill is the Queen of One-Liners and rules over her kingdom of followers. Check out today’s post and commit yourself to join the Queen’s one-liner army because there’s no fighting or blood, only comradery and fun with words.
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.
