I think this is an appropriate time to say we need to talk about the philosopher in the room.

"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
— Gilbert Chesterton

I might like cheese, but I ain't writing a poem about it.

bansaisequoia on 2010-01-15 02:17:03
I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a Brie.

Cheddar Mozarella Provalone Feta Brie Cambenbert Roqfort Gorgonzola Cambazola Carcacivallo Parmesan Cottage Ricotta Swiss Romano Gouda Fontina cheese cheese glorious cheese

bansaisequoia on 2011-01-03 05:11:47
Camembert is round, not square, when I'm if France, I'll eat it there. Mozzarella from the land of Tarantella. Feta from the land of Greece, gee, I'd love to munch a piece. Some might think England far better, to let us munch a hunk of cheddar. Holey cheese is really bliss, thank you for that all you Swiss. Gouda's yummy in my hands, thank you for that Netherlands. At my next wine & cheese party, I'll serve Danish Cream Havarti.

beerfan95 on 2011-05-14 04:17:09
I should right a poem about Stilton and barley wine.

pajarito7 on 2013-02-23 01:44:48
Roses are red, violets are blue, Do you want chocolate or cheese in your fondue?

Bansai took all the easy cheeses. I'm stuck with Stinking Bishop.

I would wax poetic about cheese, but I haven't a poetic bone in my body.

LLapp on 2015-04-06 06:47:53
Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to dis a brie?

Cheddar is yellow, Roquefort is blue. Swiss is holey and smells like a shoe.

pretty cleer for a dog that carries a brandy flaskj around his neck

LiveLoveLaugh on 2012-03-23 13:37:04
LOL ck

Barnabas on 2014-01-15 10:28:23
I would imagine Saint Bernard's praises would largely come in the way of a, "Good boy" which would be quickly followed by being given a biscuit or treat.

Such a long reaction to such a short quote

"You should go to a pear tree for pears, not to an elm."
— Publilius Syrus

Lurker on 2011-04-29 23:16:26
I don't see you solving it faster. "bear tree" - anyone else come up with something that stupid the first time they tried to solve it?

pootie49 on 2011-05-23 21:17:08

bansaisequoia on 2011-10-04 19:44:51
Do you go to a pine tree for pineapples?

WRQ9 on 2012-08-03 16:23:00
Who gets pears from an elk?

chopstix on 2013-01-01 03:15:10
you should go to a year tree for years, not to an elf.

universalmom on 2013-03-12 22:38:26
Hahaha...I had a bear tree AND an elk! I thought it worked fine.

puzzleme on 2013-04-07 06:50:00
Being Irish, I went to an elf.

I joined the bear tree and elk club! Great minds think alike

skeeter on 2015-02-10 02:44:12
I, too, went to the bear tree for an elk -- and I even have a pear tree in my yard! Sheesh.

Annamariah on 2015-09-11 08:54:47
This time I thought it was a fear tree...

Annamariah on 2015-09-22 19:23:24

LLapp on 2016-05-05 14:24:22
This is like the more modern saying, "Don't go to the hardware store to buy milk."

lainecap on 2017-01-22 10:03:18
You can now-a-days LLapp. Found out bear trees don't got elk.

We are so agreeable.

"He that is over-cautious will accomplish little. "
— Johann Friedrich von Schiller

kat on 2009-10-12 00:54:14
There shouldn't be spaces around the hyphen separating over and cautious. It should be over-cautious, not over - cautious.

kat on 2010-01-04 15:55:00
I have to agree with myself there.

jimdgar on 2011-03-18 23:40:32
I must agree with kat

"Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities." — Frank Lloyd Wright

Altoid701 on 2009-07-23 21:52:55
I guess he doesn't realize that "necessities" include food.

montyb on 2012-06-27 00:43:46
Now the Simon & Garfunkel song "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" makes sense.

maradnu on 2013-11-21 09:02:33
Food, water, air...

Just give him a box of Godivas, a bottle of Dom Perignon, and some four ply tissue and let him sit in a vacant lot.

"I have learned that the less I pay attention, the more often I am pleasantly surprised." — Raymond Justice

irisheyes on 2014-04-18 05:16:45
And even more often unpleasantly surprised.

universalmom on 2014-04-24 07:55:52
Surprised one way or another, for sure

chopstix on 2014-06-21 12:47:01

"Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts. "
— Ezra Pound

locodad on 2014-06-27 07:37:25
its against the law to have words like effluvium in the dictionary or at least in a crypto because it mess it up your time

LLapp on 2015-03-25 13:05:49
Please don't get up, I'm only effluving through . . .

abra on 2015-07-27 18:33:20
For some reason, I knew efffluvium.

maradnu on 2016-06-28 15:09:57
He is full of effluvium

MamaB on 2016-10-16 03:02:52
Fill in the other things first. But do NOT let this create a picture in your mind!

wobray2 on 2016-10-18 12:42:20
Meet the right people, and it is natural to associate 'humanity' with 'effluvium'

I sort of glanced over this as I was solving it, and I thought Patrick was talking about defending the Public Library.

Skeeter's ode to "Thy"

"It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice - there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia."
— Frank Zappa

montyb on 2012-04-07 21:05:22
Gee, I sure miss the way people talked about the end of the world when I was young. Those were the [end] days.

chopstix on 2014-08-06 09:12:46
I'm going to write that down so I can reminisce upon it later.

LLapp on 2016-06-15 10:27:18
chopstix, I'm afraid you'll need to rewrite it on Form NR(1P) [Nostalgia Report (1st Person)] and submit it for review by the Imagined Past Department. If you do not receive approval for your memory within 21 days, you can file a request for a Nostalgia Advocate, who will make a credible effort to join you for tea and a shared smile.
