Wow... cool site, WiW!!!! What a great idea for a site, Big Things in Ontario

I found the MAMMOTH CHEESE in there!
(Which inspires me to re-post this beauty that was first enquired about in a thread by LH a long, long time ago.)

ODE ON THE MAMMOTH CHEESE, WEIGHING OVER 7,000 POUNDS

James McIntyre "The Cheese Poet"
1827-1906

We have seen the Queen of cheese,
Laying quietly at your ease,
Gently fanned by evening breeze --
Thy fair form no flies dare seize.

All gaily dressed soon you'll go
To the great Provincial Show,
To be admired by many a beau
In the city of Toronto.

Cows numerous as a swarm of bees --
Or as the leaves upon the trees --
It did require to make thee please,
And stand unrivalled Queen of Cheese.

May you not receive a scar as
We have heard that Mr. Harris
Intends to send you off as far as
The great World's show at Paris.

Of the youth -- beware of these --
For some of them might rudely squeeze
And bite your cheek; then songs or glees
We could not sing o' Queen of Cheese.

We'rt thou suspended from baloon,
You'd caste a shade, even at noon;
Folks would think it was the moon
About to fall and crush them soon.
