Dear Friend,
(You can skip this and go to the end):
As you can see, I am out of breath,
This is a matter of life and death.
Please, please
Please send some cheese.
French blue would be fine
And a little drop of wine.
If you have some cheddar
All the better.
Just, please.
Send cheese.
If it has holes, I don’t mind,
Oh, by the way, I’m fond of the rind.
I don’t care if it’s smelly!
Can’t you hear my rumbling belly?
Please, please,
Send cheese.
It can be dreamy
Or soft and creamy
Would be bliss.
I could say much
About Dutch.
From a sheep, or a goat, or a cow,
Just send it anyhow.
It can be yellow or green
(I don’t care where it’s been).
White?
That’s alright.
Write to me soon, if you please.
(P.S. Don’t forget the cheese).
