The cure

There once was a lady named Lola
Who liked to drink Coca-Cola
One day she felt sick
But she knew just the trick
Wine, crackers and gorgonzola.

I was wondering where this was going. Didn't have much to do with cheese. Fortunately, the author pulled it all together with the last stanza. Lola eating Gorgonzola is great visual imagery, almost synesthetic. It hints at a deeper metaphor, but one we may never completely understand. The strong masculine rhyme scheme is an improvement over some of the author's earlier, more feminine rhymes. Just needs a little onomatopeaia and it would be a decent poem.

I feel like I was left wanting something at the end, maybe something more, maybe just cheese...

the more i read it, the more i like it. The lady sounds like someone I really want to know, I really feel like I have conected with her on a deeper cheesier level.
