Thread Name: Lyr Req: Queen of Cheese (James McIntyre)
Subject: Queen of Cheese - got the words?
It's the poem that starts:

We have seen thee, Queen of Cheese
Lying quietly at your ease
Gently fanned by evening breeze
Thy fair form no flies dare sieze

I need the rest of the words...can't find 'em anywhere.

Can anyone help? The guy who wrote it was an astonishingly bad poet who attained considerable fame in the 19th century precisely because he wrote such bad poetry. People bought it to laugh at it. Anybody remember who he was?
