Ode to 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. ("James McIntyre (1828-1906) found fame not in his native Forres but as the 'Cheese Poet of Ingersoll, Ontario'") via
