James McIntyre - Ode on the Mammoth Cheese

James McIntyre - Ode on the Mammoth Cheese

We have seen the Queen of cheese, br Laying quietly at your ease, br Gently fanned by evening breeze -- br Thy fair form no flies dare seize. br br All gaily dressed soon you'll go br To the great Provincial Show, br To be admired by many a beau br In the city of Toronto. br br Cows numerous as a swarm of bees -- br Or as the leaves upon the trees -- br It did require to make thee please, br And stand unrivalled Queen of Cheese. br br May you not receive a scar as br We have heard that Mr. Harris br Intends to send you off as far as br The great World's show at Paris. br br Of the youth -- beware of these -- br For some of them might rudely squeeze br And bite your cheek; then songs or glees br We could not sing o' Queen of Cheese. br br We'rt thou suspended from baloon, br You'd cast a shade, even at noon; br Folks would think it was the moon br About to fall and crush them soon.
