The Wise Cheese

The Wise Cheese An old and mature cheese of very great age, Considered among cheeses to be a sage, Spoke these wisdoms to the sausages and pies, “You depend on fillings, not on size.” Then all the cheeses gathered hands And danced the foxtrot in the sands. The pies replied, “Aged cheese, you are wise.” “They is sausages and we is pies.” Barry Stebbings 10/16/18

Just love that last line, Barry, or should I say rather: We is lovin' it! … Also want to thank you for sponsoring the contest, and giving all us Soupers a chance to 'say cheese!' And a final thank you for your generous evaluation of my entry (8th place). Much appreciated. Best wishes of the season! ~ Gershon

I love this, it is cute and downright fun! Does not inspire my muse for your contest, but is a great little entertaining gem. (and I'll probably think of somethin') All the best ... CayCay
