Free verse by Richard Styner
I cannot help but stop and look at the additional pecorino.
Are you upset by how supplementary it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the pecorino so supplemental?
All that is stale is not parmesan,
parmesan, by all account is fresh.
Does the parmesan make you shiver?
does it?
The swiss cheese that’s really cunning,
Above all others is the good gruyere.
Grated, good gruyere.
Now ingenious is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the good gruyere is attractive.
