Cheese On Toast…

There was once a genius,

who thought to themselves,

whilst sitting on the loo.

~

Eureka!

~

I have it.

~

Cheese can be melted on toast.

~

And so the world improved,

from that very day.

~

I believe it was a Tuesday,

at around half past three.

~

Think the invention of the wheel,

the slicing of bread,

and the evolution of the television remote.

~

It can be a very simple meal,

inexpensive and easy to make.

~

But of course,

the better the cheese,

atop a good quality bread,

the more the word “delicious” gets used.

~

Or if you’re slightly less cultured,

“that’s filled a hole” will suffice.

~

Or “fuck me sideways that was better than sex”,

if you’re from Manchester,

or in a relationship with me.

~

It’s a personal thing,

depends on my mood.

I sometimes add Branston Pickle

or Worcestershire Sauce.

~

Neither are needed really,

the cheese is more than capable,

of riding the toast alone.

~

It’s the captain of the ship,

setting off from the plate,

on a mission to feed,

a poet his mid morning snack.
