[edit] Ode on the Mammoth Cheese
In this year a masterpiece of cheese-making, a 7,000-pound Canadian behemoth produced in Perth, Ontario, and sent to exhibitions in Toronto, New York and Britain, was given its appropriate due in poetry by one James McIntyre (1828–1906), a Canadian known as "The Cheese Poet", whose work has outlasted his subject and might even make its fame immortal. Herewith, an excerpt of his "Ode on the Mammoth Cheese Weighing Over 7,000 Pounds":
- We have seen thee, Queen of Cheese,
- Lying quietly at your ease,
- Gently fanned by evening breeze;
- Thy fair form no flies dare seize.
- All gaily dressed, soon you'll go
- To the provincial show,
- To be admired by many a beau
- In the city of Toronto.
- from "Ode on the Mammoth Cheese" [1]
McIntyre's poetry has been the subject of books in the twentieth century, however, the greatest boost to his fame probably came from a number of his poems being anthologized in the collection Very Bad Poetry, edited by Ross and Kathryn Petras (Vintage, 1997).
