The Cheese is Old and Moldy


Have you ever looked in your fridge
and had a chunk of something green
You don't remember what it was once
but what you've seen cannot be unseen

You find it, you pause for a moment
and consider just closing the door
have hardened, half covered, part white
wrapped in plastic, perhaps in a drawer

and at first, you're afraid to just touch it
for you might contract some disease
but next, you want to destroy it
Yes, its old.  Its moldy.  its cheese

Consider the cheese in this state
for in cheese its common for mold
and cheese in itself is a process
that is made by making milk old

In fact its the mold that makes flavor
in come cheeses, it has to contain
where milk is one of the ingredients
but mold is another main

We all have had time our life when
we are defeated, we're lost or beaten
we have had time when we run across
some food that should long have been eaten

We have sometimes continued past prime
and were hardened or ruined or scary
But sometimes defeat is just flavor
You can learn a lot from dairy.
