Green Cheese
They took their curds
but lost their way
when they
went to make
the cheese that day
Our little ship
smelt the gift
from afar
Now their curds
are among
the stars
It couldn’t
have happened
a moment too soon
We are short of cheese
and this
should be green
in time
for the next
full moon
“To feel envy is human, to savour schadenfreude is devilish.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, On Human Nature
