Ode to Cheese

poem by: Jennine Eng
Written on Aug 18, 2018

Not many things 
In life are gooey
Taste salty and savory
Good on everything
Smooth and creamy
Or hard
Cheese is like the Britain of South America
Or the Nepal of North Korea
When my hands shrivel
And my hair loses it’s color
As do my eyes
When my ashes are all that is left
I want them made into cheese
Then they will taste my crunch
Crunch 
Crunch
Crunch
