In barren district you may meet <br />Small fertile spot doth grow fine wheat, <br />There you may find the choicest fruits, <br />And great, round, smooth and solid roots. <br /> <br />But in conditions such as these <br />You cannot make a mammoth cheese, <br />Which will weigh eight thousand pounds, <br />But where large fertile farms abounds. <br /> <br />Big cheese is synonymous name, <br />With the fertile district of the Thame, <br />Here dairy system's understood, <br />And they are made both large and good.<br /><br />James McIntyre<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fertile-lands-and-mammoth-cheese/
