Gorgonzola

entry picture

 

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,

(I`m goin` to ask the grand-kids for the tune)

I also remember being 'trapped' on a train some years ago with a whole coach full of Newcastle fans. To this tune they were singing

He makes us sing and he makes us dance
he's a superstar, and he comes from France.
Ginola.
la la laa Ginola

"You'd have no Caer in Philly
With a performance so full of Brie-o
If you don't mind not being fed a
Delicious twang of Cheddar
Some Wensleydale would make a tasty trio!"
Sing on, pal!!

Hilarious - I love it - this kind of poetry is right up my street. There isn't enough laughter in this world - we need to clone you, then flood the blog area with your work :)x

Great picking and singing, John. My missus was listening from the other room, and I could hear her laughing!
