Where are my Spectacles? (Sonnet) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?
Have you seen my spectacles? I'm sure I had them around here somewhere. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Broom the bus driver? Perhaps I left them on the bus by accident. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Helm the policeman? Somebody might have handed them in at lost property. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Turd the park keeper? Maybe they fell in the pond when I was feeding the ducks. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Tripe the butcher? I hope I didn't drop them into one of your delicious offal pies. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Stilton the cheesesmith? Check in case they are in the back of your cheese shed. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Bleat the goat farmer? I trust you havn't inadvertently processed them through your goat refinery. Have you seen my spectacles, Mr Zoom the astronaut? I will be very cross if you have blasted them off into space or something. Oh wait, I was wearing them all along.

Sardonic brilliance. But surely the correct word is 'cheseemonger', not 'cheesesmith'? I hate it when I drop my glasses and I can't see them because my eyesight is shit.

A cheesemonger would only sell cheese, wheras a cheesesmith would make it. Also, the cheesemonger would conduct his business from a shop, and therefore have no need for a cheese shed.

Surely a cheesemonger might have a cheese shed to store the cheese not currently on display in his shop? I'm sure he would have spare supplies round the back.

That would be a cheese storeroom.
