The first human to ever be<\/p>\n
bestowed<\/p>\n
with spellbinding words<\/p>\n
gifted to create<\/p>\n
weaves of tales, anecdotes,<\/p>\n
verses and poems, parallel worlds<\/p>\n
the world at her feet<\/p>\n
which somehow led astray and<\/p>\n
she found herself<\/p>\n
at the Devil’s gate.<\/p>\n
Quick on her feet,<\/p>\n
she showed him her gift<\/p>\n
and told him a tale so rich<\/p>\n
that he sat there enthralled<\/p>\n
his mouth agape<\/p>\n
happily he fed her<\/p>\n
some cheese and grapes.<\/p>\n
“This is my favourite,<\/p>\n
this yellow wonder<\/p>\n
Go on, have a taste,<\/p>\n
just surrender.”<\/p>\n
She nibbled at it<\/p>\n
and then devoured it whole<\/p>\n
“I could eat this in pies and<\/p>\n
meats and bread rolls!”<\/p>\n
The melted goodness captured her heart<\/p>\n
and she began to sing odes<\/p>\n
to this piece of culinary art.<\/p>\n
However, this Lucifer didn’t appreciate<\/p>\n
for the Cheese supplies at the time were severely depleted.<\/p>\n
He didn’t want humans to<\/p>\n
find his treasure<\/p>\n
so he decided to make<\/p>\n
the first poet his prisoner.<\/p>\n
But she begged and begged<\/p>\n
to not let her gift go waste,<\/p>\n
So they struck a deal in haste.<\/p>\n
She was not use her words to entice<\/p>\n
humans to come searching<\/p>\n
for cheese like mice.<\/p>\n
She gave him her word<\/p>\n
and returned home<\/p>\n
making sure to pass this<\/p>\n
promise along<\/p>\n
So you see that explains<\/p>\n
in terms quite neat<\/p>\n
why poets have been<\/p>\n
mysteriously silent on the<\/p>\n
subject of cheese.<\/p>\n
