"Please," he begged, "Send me some cheese,
Camembert, Stilton or Brie.
It really don't matter, what sort I get,
It won't make a difference to me!

"I'm begging you please, any bit of cheese,
I really can't beg any louder.
A mozza-rella, or some sort of cheddar,
Or a lovely big lump of dutch Gouda."

He begged and pleaded for just what he needed.
He offered to clean the cheese wire!
"I'll take Double Gloucester* or even Red Leicester**
Or to be honest, any old shire!"

By the end of the day he was down on his knees,
"Port Salut, would be fantastic!
Or, at a pinch, maybe an inch
Of that burger cheese they wrap in plastic?"
