Gorgonzola
I met her in a bar
When I worked in Stranraer
Where she cried in the corner
So I went so far
As to console her.
She looked up at me
So then I could see
The blood and the snot;
She’d broke her tooth –
It was a molar
(Or perhaps a praemolar;
No, no, it was a molar).
Her mouth opened wide
Where I gazed at inside
The cavernous gap
Big enough to take
A pot-holer.
I then looked at it
And I told her to spit
In a hat that I found
Lying on the ground;
It was a bowler.
She said that she’d stole a
Hat from a solar
Panel Engineer.
I asked her how she had broken her tooth
But there on the molar was the living proof
It wasn’t the fist of some thuggish attacker
But her forceful chomp on a rogue Cream Cracker.
I pushed them away
“Your teeth will decay”
I begged of her, “Please,
You’d best not eat these;
The Cracker’s too hard
Just stick to the cheese”.
So that’s the way
That I started my play
And I sealed when
I discovered the way
To control her.
She said “Brie’s for me
But Feta is better”
But when she was pissed
She couldn’t resist
Gorgonzola,
Whoa whoa Gorgonzola.

John,
There`s plenty can make us laugh - but to do it in rhyme?
(I`m goin` to ask the grand-kids for the tune)
