I suppose it is because no one wants to be called a cheesy poet. Playpen of Graphics FREE graphics, FREE Jigsaw puzzles! Zany's Playpen Quote | Post #1274848 (1)

“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.” I wonder why cheesy means something negative. I like cheese. I think it deserves to be discussed in a positive way in poetry. Don't you? I only posted this quote because it made me laugh. I didn't analyze it until now. Hmmmmm. My Red Bubble Photography Visit Me At Zazzle, Who's Who Spotlight Quote | Post #1274868 (2)

I enjoy many mild cheeses, but have never developed a taste for the more pungent varieties. It is odd that the great poets sing the praises of wine, which is a fermented product, but do not pair it with fermented cheeses. Perhaps it is because the wine can make one drunk, tipsy, and lose ones inhibitions, while cheese fills the stomach and sates ones hunger without affecting ones libido.

I have a friend who LOVES Limburger cheese. I've never smelled it, but I know it has a reputation for being extremely unpleasant. She says you have to get past the smell, hold your nose or something and then you will enjoy the wonderful taste. I think I'll probably never take her up on that. But thanks for the definition, Vic. Do you think this - - is what they mean by a cheesy grin? Or maybe this - ? Here's Google images of "cheesy grin." Still very unclear to me. https://www.google.com/search?q=cheesy grin gif&newwindow=1&... My Red Bubble Photography Visit Me At Zazzle, Who's Who Spotlight Quote | Post #1274913 (6)

To me a cheesy grin is one that has full teeth clenched and looks forced. Playpen of Graphics FREE graphics, FREE Jigsaw puzzles! Zany's Playpen Quote | Post #1274927 (7)

I agree with Zany but I do use the green smile often for happy or giggly. Is that a word? NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art Quote | Post #1274940 (8)

yes, giggly is a silly sounding word for a silly kind of laughter. Playpen of Graphics FREE graphics, FREE Jigsaw puzzles! Zany's Playpen Quote | Post #1274942 (9)

By the way, Vic, thanks for complimenting my photo! I set that plate up specifically for this quote. And when I was satisfied with the photo, the boys and I enjoyed devouring the snacks. My Red Bubble Photography Visit Me At Zazzle, Who's Who Spotlight Quote | Post #1274951 (10)
