Today we ask that you and your poetry<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

take a journey with us
\n<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Into the delectable world of
\n<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Delicious, tasty, and delightful<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Cheese and chocolate, the favorites of my country,<\/font><\/p>\n

in so many flavors, shapes and styles….<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Chocolate<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just saying the word<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

feels Like a poem on my lips.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Just let my indulgence of it Not show up on my hips.)<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nWhy does it seem so decadent,<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

So like a forbidden love?<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Darn, this pair of jeans used to fit me like a glove.)<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nYou tantalize my taste buds,<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

So dark, creamy and rich<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

(O.K. I overdid it-Ten pounds, what a bitch!)<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fondue has been known since the 4th century. <\/font><\/p>\n

The name comes from the french word “fondre” which means melting. <\/font><\/p>\n

People, not wanting to waste food, would melt their old cheeses with some wine.<\/font><\/p>\n

Then they would stir in some old dry bread into the Cheese mixture. <\/font><\/p>\n

This way making a meal from leftovers in the end was the beginning of Fondue!<\/font><\/p>\n

In the late 1950’s Fondue began it’s journey around the world<\/font><\/p>\n

Gaining in culinary popularity!<\/font><\/p>\n

There’s nothing quite like a piece of cheese<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

to nibble upon for pleasure and ease.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

No matter the time or state of mind<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

greater joy than cheese you’ll find.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Served on a cracker or a soft piece of bread<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

a morceau de formage will please your head.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Roquefort, Camembert, Brie or Blue<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

served with fruit or in fondue<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

God gave us cheese- a bit of heaven on earth<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

to lift our burdens, providing sweet mirth.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And after all our daily work is done<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

we enjoy simple cheese just for fun.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But remember the ancient custom of the house<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

leave behind a kernel for the nocturnal mouse.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

So gather around, Poetic Pals,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And tell us of those <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Tasty treats and morsels<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Of Chocolate and Cheese<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

That you enjoy!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Let your poetic muse describe<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

All those flavors that please<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Your palate and your heart!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
