The Theory of Cheese

by Nick Gisburne





A mouse was once invited to the Moon
To ponder on the Theory of Cheese
For if it could be eaten with a spoon
Would moonlight be too slippery to squeeze?

The Theory of Cheese
You'll only understand it if you sneeze

His first contention: positively yes
Was countered by a second: strictly no
So, rather than be seen to simply guess
The mouse, without a squeak, agreed to go

The Theory of Cheese
Is deeper than an ocean filled with peas

The jaunt became a farcical affair
When suddenly the navigating bat
Cried out, convinced the Moon was never there
And no one could persuade him. That was that

The Theory of Cheese
Particularly stinky in a breeze

They landed in the bosom of a tree
Too late for cheese, but just in time for tea

And after that they told their tale to me
