Replying to a comment on:
The Tragic Life of a Stinky Cheese Man (Free verse) by bunniesnangels
When the Stinky Cheese Man gets on the bus
Thirty-two frantic lips intone a silent prayer,
"Please don't let him sit by me."
He eats alone at home because haughty
Bistro servers invariably seat him by the kitchen
And he fears the grater.
All the chlorine in the world
Can't make his outings to the public pool
A good day for anyone.
(I think it goes without saying
That nobody ever answers his ads
In the Yahoo Personals.)
Imagine the shame and degradation
Of being made of fetid cheese
When everybody was expecting gingerbread.
