Cheddar Cheese

The farmer said his cow was a Swiss. Lou said "Tell me one thing, and it is this. Does it make holes in the cheese, Using Swiss milk, if you please?" Farmer said, "No. But the cheddar is bliss."

A wry, witty informative Limerick rounded off on a note of optimism. It is a pleasure to read such works. Howard

LOL. I am not fat at all. But your suggestion may help others here. I sold weight loss products for yesars, i went from a 16 to a 6 in slacks, the best part was helping other people lose weight and see the joy in their eyes when they reached their goals. It was a great experience and you have to work with people one on one. You can’t just sell them and think they’ll follow a program….they don’t. So I learned a lot about food and about human behavior during this seven year period or longer.. the best years of my life spent through this. Pangie )))

A tasty limerick, Hilda! You definitely answered some dairy questions that people may have had, too.

Thanks for reading. I once prepped a young cow for milking but she never had a calf so my training went to waste. And she was a Hereford, which is a beef breed. Just right for two people.

Hilda, your humor brightened my day. We should definitely consider adding more of that carefree mindset. What's next? Let's keep going.

The farmer is indeed amiss - The cow is certainly not Swiss - Cheddar cheese is English - Absolutely delice - Though agreeably it is bliss…….. Beryl

Then we would be talking Guernsey? I didn't mean to insult her. Best wishes.

Such a fun read dear Hilda and also great rhyming. Swiss cows are famous for their milk giving capacities .

Hilda Greenhough

Yes, they are. As a child, my family had Ayrshire milk delivered. Swiss Brown cows are well known. Glad you got a laugh.

Dear hilda, you are truly a very gifted poet, and this is very well woven with excellent rhymes that flow: made me wonder did this really happen? I love swiss chocolates, and iv been to some swiss chocolate factories, but cheese i never liked. Ah. I especially found the line “ Does it make holes in the cheese, Using Swiss milk, if you please?"“ fun. Made me smile. Hope you are doing well. Sending you light always

This was just a fun poem. I have one that I spent more time on, but I'm waiting for St. Patrick's Dsy to print it. Having Swiss chocolates in Switzerland sounds like a living poem,. Cold mountain air and chocolate seem to go together.
