Melting, wondrous, goodness.
The smell intoxicates my lungs,
But it lingers out of my reach.
My nose edging towards the counter,
Only centimeters away.
I whine to make my human aware,
She yells, “Dude shut up!”—
Snapping my brain from the cheese.
So, I bow my head in sadness.
My human watches me and sighs.
She walks over to the cheese and picks it up.
Leaning down, she hands me the cheese.
I open my mouth,
Grabbing the heavenus flavor with my jowls.
I swallow it whole,
But it bounces off the back of my throat
And retches out my mouth,
Covered in goober.
So I look down at my cheese and
Quickly snatch it, gobbling it up.
I hear my human say,
“God! You’re an idiot sometimes.” •
