Yaks are wonderful <br />but they make terrible cheese. <br />Their nature is kind and gentle <br />unlike the spitting llama; <br />sometimes you may hear them <br />in the small hours of the night <br />talking quietly among themselves. <br />They are dreamy animals <br />much given to flights of fancy <br />but their manners are perfect, <br />old-fashioned and gentlemanly. <br />So far no-one has explained <br />why their cheese is so terrible. <br />Philosophers and gourmets <br />have long debated the issue, <br />even held joint symposia <br />on the subject but still they are baffled, <br />and the matter remains open for debate. <br />The cheese of cows, goats, and even <br />sheep is much to be preferred; <br />if you take my advice, <br />you will eschew yak cheese — <br />it really is terrible.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yaks-are-wonderful/
