Creme de la creme

 
If you ask me (which I know you never will)
What did humans (that’s us) invent best?
I will pretend to think and make up a drill
And then answer the test.
 
“Not planes, not cones, not humour (though witty)
Not phones, not cars (now, don’t be absurd)
Not shaving brushes nor ChatGPT
The answer – yes, you guessed it – is good old curd.”
(ps: the only worthwhile invention after this boon
Was the teaspoon)
 
 
Then I see your look, where you roll up your eyes
There are two reasons why you do
a)    There is incredulous surprise; or
b)   You are like me too!
 
When you have a World-this-day or that
Why not National Lactobacilli Day
It’s fermentation’s superstar brat
DiCaprio, horn ok please.  Now, make way.
 
Vegans – good humans - avoid this delicious stuff
Their lips will never mention the word
They make almond milk into a cream-ish bluff
And label that as Honorary Curd
 
(And I always ask a vegan,
“When you started off, how did you ever beegan?”)
 
Now, this ode to curd will end here
The reason isn’t that I am short of time
The only issue with curd (unlike beer)
Is that it’s a bloody hard word to rhyme.
 
Ps: note that this ditty had not a single blood-curdling pun.
