24 Poems: “The Dinner Party”

 

Creamy Cheddar Soup

 

One might call this typically Canadian

Mild and quaint in simplicity

Unlike some of the guests however

Unduly lacking in simplicity

 

It almost lathers when it’s stirred

This orange pond of gold

Like a swim in a buttery lake

Like winning a pot o’ gold

 

It’s rather filling though

So I tell my guests to know

That they only need to sample

Avoiding over-stuffedness well-known

 

The humourist prepared a thought

It could have been served with nachos, he said

Some nodded, others in suffering face

Well-spoken, I sportingly said

 

A Vineland Estates Riesling

Or perhaps a Muskoka Lager

As long as it’s national

Like a sparkling spring cold lager
