Irish Renga on the second day of Purim

There was an old codger called Goldie
Who thought he was going to be mouldy
He scrubbed himself clean
Into such a bright sheen
That he saw he was just an oldie.

That odd cheesey smell eminating


had provided a rudest awakening


he nearly did flounder


by the fresh deli counter


but was only the cheddar they\'re grating

 

assured he weren\'t going insane

he ordered some cheese with blue veins


it suited his palette


but strained at his wallett


yes life\'s a funny old game

 

then he dined with a local old farmer


who\'s wife was really a charmer
a bit of a cracker


and never a slacker


he nibbled a slice of leerdammer


dusk arising

 

The the cheese on the plate was just patie


which would make him become a bit fatty


To go with his beer


he wanted some cheer


so went off and found dolce laite

Though his sweet tooth\'s a mouldy old molar


he won\'t ever drink diet cola


it has to be said


a full bodied red


he prefers alongside cambazola


dusk arising

 

Eating his crackers in bed


Thinking of chardonnays and reds


Puzzled by woodas and shouldas


He wished he had chosen Goudas


A top these crackers instead.

‘Oh mirror, mirror on the wall


Can’t you reassure me at all?’


“Oh no sir, it is just too late -


Far better to accept your fate.”
