Blue Cheese and Honey
There lived a horse who liked blue cheese
Served on a plate upon his knees
And every day the meal he ate
was cheese he ‘d placed upon his plate.
While out one day he found some honey
and poured it all – so sweet and runny-
upon the cheese upon the plate
set on his knees and so he ate
But the honey he had taken
Could have been a BIG mistake!
Bees flying in a frenzied state
Made a beeline for his plate
The horse ran off and left the honey –
upon the cheese – all sweet and runny
Thousands landed on his cheese
consuming honey as they pleased
Till gorging on and sated soon
they droned off in the afternoon
The horse returned and placed the plate
upon his knees and he was pleased
to realise-at least the bees
had left his Blue Cheese – which he ate.!
So if you choose to eat blue cheese
served on a plate upon your knees
avoid the thought of honey dressing.
Blue cheese – alone -is quite impressing!

Love your horse-cheese poem, Jill!
hello!
It has taken me a few weeks to discover that I have had 3 comments!
Thank you for being the first to put a smile on my face ( today, anyway). I do have lots more and limericks too.
I’e written all my life – along with image and story making – and wonder if one day a publisher might show an interest – for an anthlogy. 2 of my 3 children’s books are written with rhyming verse for text. Sometimes my adult poetry is not this conventional.

Tell me… are you also a writer and/or teacher? My email address is: jill@visionaryimages.com.au… should you choose to use it
.
Loved the poem ‘Blue Cheese and Honey.’ I also love blue cheese but prefer it with a glass of wine.
Hello Tricia,
Many thanks for your kind comment… I like all sorts of quite odd things…. and I have a son who enjoyed pickled cucumbers before he was one….
Are you also a writer and/or teacher?
A poetic treat that made me smile. Thanks, Jill. And thank you, Di, for serving up such a wonderful menu of poems and articles.
Hello Patricia,
Thank you for your comment. I have many more and was glad that you enjoyed this one.
The School journals have bought a limerick and a chlldrens’ poem called /Airborne’
but I have no idea as yet which issue it will be published in..
I’ve now retired from full time work as an Out of School Hours Coordinator but love writing poetry and short stories some of which have won competitions and been published in anthologies.
Should have read School Magazine… NOT Journal.

There will be another poem of mine- THE BEAR – up soon on this poetry site.
I hope those who get to read it,enjoy it…. although this one – unlike BLUE CHEESE AND HONEY is rather more melancholy…. Jill
