Cheese Toastie

You were forbidden to me - this only made the need greater,

I didn’t hate ya, but I took my grater and shaved you all over the crusty white bread.

Lashings of butter, salt and pepper, oh how I shudder to think that I couldn’t have ya,

no matter, you’ll be mine - tummy be damned!

Melting you under the grill, my mouth salivating, my heart elevating at the excitement of devouring you - this forbidden fruit that Mum said I couldn’t have,

too bad, so sad! Sorry Mum, I’m going for it!

Oh that first bite, outta sight! The gooey deliciousness, all buttery, warm and oozing,

I can’t believe how simple a food moves me, (and possibly right through me),

but I love you, my cheese toastie!
