Oh Romano, Romano, Wherefore Art Thou Romano

Excerpt from 'Say Something Terrorible' in celebration of cheese.

Poem Artwork

 

A little Pecorino this Taleggio of 'ould...


 

Oh Romano, Romano, Wherefore Art Thou Romano

 

Oh Romano, Romano, Wherefore Art Thou Romano


 

Asiago midst crumbled ruins;

Whence eyed that ancient Emmental:

Castle Roquefort; Nay Neufchatel,

Nor Colby Cottage thatched:

But aged Brick, Marbled red-yellow,

Cloaked in veined Gorgonzola;

Nigh whose mould Blue walls,

Nay flower Gruyere.


 

Liveno there Italian noble Romano:

Not airy Swiss or flippant Monterey Jack he;

With bride maiden Pure:

Whose Skim was as Cream,

A beauty beyond all com' Parmesan.


 

Life was Gouda;

Tilsit one Vailed Knight:

A Humboldt Fog hung Stilton air;

Wherein a Lincolnshire Poacher,

Camembert away his Dutchess.

Manchego!


 

“Oh cruel Fetas.” he cried

For his lost love he aChed, dark mood

Tears flowed Fontainebleau;

Havarti to Provolone his true love?

Yes. He would Go at once to free her:

As soul Processed by demon Wheys;

To Leyden the Trappe Veritable;

Thus send Curworthy foe to its Greve.

Brave Chevre he'll thus be shown.


 

Alas,

When he Cojita the Muenster,

It went Pourly;

He Pule out too soon and Doppelganger;

And so in Curds his own demise.


 

Aye,

Tis Lief's String that's cut Brief;

Yet me thinks however Sliced:

This Head cheese but Farmer Manouri


 

Lorraine!

I grew up a cheese head, but I still do not know the names of all those cheeses you so creatively put in this passionate poem. Certainly, an ode to the odor de plume of cut cheese Limburger. I realize that America's Dairyland was a latecomer and fairly only German in origin, but two other cheeses, Jesus, you missed were my favorite, Cheddar, and Colby, named after the little town of its origin, just up the road from my birthplace.

Kudos on the creativity. Wordsmithing galore!

Have you done wines? They go well only cheese and a loaf of home-baked bread.
