The Slushy Fate of Cheese With The Mantis 
 
The cheese undressed from its packaging  
it felt oh so bare and tawdry but hoped  
some saviour might run run run dash  
the cheese excited the mantis  
showing its exposed shiny bulk  
 
continually stripping the  
suffocating red wax every pore  
of cheese breathed anew and let  
the air in- light shone on its rind  
so the mantis was overcome with fear  
but alas the greed did not cave in  
 
the cheese smothered the mantis  
drowning in its own succulence  
 
the mantis savoured the succulence  
and went into a melted fantasy  
 
snowballed the fruit into yellow  
hole skies, dangling off the moon  
 
and the mantis prayed  
as the cheese took away the problems there had been  
and all that was left  
was the mantis and the cheese  
as one  
Glory glory mantis one  
with cheese what an  
unlikely match!
