Y'know whenever I go to my brother's to watch a football game He always brings out a lovely big platter of cheeses, with a selection of crackers This and some hummus, nuts and potato crisps Along with a nice cold beer He really likes his cheeses does my brother Me! I don't mind a bit of cheese myself But Him, he's a real connoisseur. Anyway last  Christmas I was looking for a present to bring him And in my local supermarket, guess what, they had these lovely big platters of various  cheeses Wow! I was delighted, that was his present sorted No more traipsing around shops, tiring my poor feet out And this was a good present, something he'd really like; So I brought the cheese home and put it in the fridge Next morning I was up early sorting out the presents, who got what Putting them in nice Christmasy type bags I then packed them in the car and took off, An hour later I'm sitting at their table and we're talking about some poor celebrity movie star who's just passed away Their saying he had some Brain disease, just like Alcheimers except it wasn't Alcheimers My brother's wife is there trying to articulate, to explain "It's like his brain had holes in it" And I'm thinking "Holes in the brain, hmmm... just like...like a Swiss cheese" Then, of course, I remember. **** I say out loud in front of them all,"I forgot the cheese, I left the feckin' cheese in the fridge" Really ****** me off Then I start thinking, that's actually quite funny We're talking about Alcheimers disease and it reminds me I left the cheese in the fridge What do you call that, is that ironic or what ? What's a Paradox ? Sounds like a washing powder. Wait! Is this a poem at all or am I in the wrong place ? (LoL)

**** I forgot the cheese

This actually happened at Christmas and I wondered could I write a poem about it, more of a story. Something lighthearted.
