Emmentaler Mind

Now my friends,
what we have here is a
hubris-ridden termagant
on legs considered elegant,
and all of this entwined within an
Emmentaler mind (when
it comes to making rhyme)
but – une derrière, ma chère,
you’d gladly die for!

A buy like this my friends,
le chance détente,
no ordinary fare, how so?
Milords, consider, the sacred
cow provides no sustenance,
– no meat, no milk, no hide,
and yet it glides through life
a fair and harmless virtue,
yet,
here we have a mind;

now please,
forget the rhyme,
Milords,
forget the mind;
these are merely bagatelles,

focus on
là derrière!
