Indeed there seems to be a few cheese poems out there. Maybe we can have a cheesey volume. There's a project. Hang on! You say you like to cut the fromage. Do you mean you like to cut the cheese? Metaphorically? That opens a whole new world of possibilities. Chesterton has clearly not heard my poem, Cheese Teacher. Indeed there seems to be a few cheese poems out there.

I suspect Chesterton was being wry rather than literal and knew that Shakespeare, among others, commonly mentioned cheese, as when Falstaff praises "cheese and garlic," though in prose (1 Henry IV). Could Hall be the first poet to fill the cheese void? Thanks, Neil, for your kind words and your references to recent cheese poems.

I used this Chesterton chestnut in a poem, "Listening to Cheese." Poetic note: Donald Hall some time back corrected our collective shortcoming. See "O Cheese" included in White Apples and the Taste of Stone, Selected Poems 1946-2006. Amicus poeticae, Neal Whitman George,
