<p class="poetry">The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got
there,<br/>
And warmly debated the matter;<br/>
The Orthodox said that it came from the air,<br/>
And the Heretics said from the platter.<br/>
They argued it long and they argued it strong,<br/>
And I hear they are arguing now;<br/>
But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,<br/>
Not one of them thought of a cow,</p>
