Poems about food

"This Is Just To Say," William Carlos Williams

Hm, now I have to think of another. How about Frost's After Apple Picking.

Having All The Cheese in the World

What if I had all the Emmental.
All Gouda and all Brie?
All Cheddar and all Babybels?
All creamy dairylea?

I'd put an end to famine,
With all the cheese I've got,
I'd stuff all guns with Feta-cheese,
So no-one else gets shot.

With Wensleydale I'd build a bridge,
Between all waring creeds,
They'd forget about which side they're on,
And fulfill their dairy needs.

So Anchor, Kraft and Dairylea,
Bring on world peace, please.
Governments don't control the world,
The power is in cheese.

By Me

haha - that is fantastic!

graham that is beautiful!!

the bits about feasting and fast days in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight are v excellent if you happen to like alliterative mediaeval poetry all about knights and FOOD with loads of thorns and yoghs in. which i DO hurrah! IIRC Chaucer had lots of things to say on the subject also, though cant think of any apart from the nun, who fed her dogs scraps of white bread. they were also eating off those whatdoyoucallums, those big loaves of bread that doubled as plates. were they called trenchers? them, anyhow. they sound fun. i want one.

Thank you Steve, Thank you Katie (And from a vegan too- I may have to become one to prevent house "mates" stealing my beautiful cow's milk from the collective fridge in our firgurative kitchen.)

Mmm, cheese. *drifts away*

even to a vegan, cheese must be acceptable if it is used in the interests of world peace.
