I like Cheese

I like Cheese 

I have it on a regular basis 

The last Cheese what I had 

It was Goats Cheese 

It come with a side salad 

What I got Purchase wise 

From Marks and Spencer 

On South End Green 

Next to the Royal Free 

When I went in there 

The sentinel on the door 

Gestured to remind me to put on a mask 

I told her that I am exempt 

I mean We all are 

The Royal Free is the first shop 

What I went to last year 

And I saw people keeping away from each other 

I done a Poem about it 

I didn’t know what it was all about 

I had to Google it 

I think that people who participate in Soziale Distanzierung 

They are criminal murderers 

I would kill them all Right now 

If I could 

Every last one of them 

Scum Filth Garbage 

Anyway I have Cheddar sometimes 

I went through a phase 

Of having 2 toasted cheese sandwiches 

Made from sliced white With Eggs and Bacon 

Every morning 

Cheddar 

A few years ago 

Then I had a funny feeling I ought to get a Carbon Monoxide detector 

I have no idea why 

Anyway I got one from Sam In B & S Homecare D.I.Y In Kentish Town 

The best shop in London 

I have had that Cooker for 30 years 

I found it in The Chapel Flat 8 when I moved in 

It was there I fixed it up 

The Grill I mean when I got it 

The grill would not go 

I took the bastard to bits 

I cleaned it up Anyway 

I been living with a Grill It has been Fucking me 

With Carbon Monoxide For 30 years 

The Hobs are alright 

On that gas cooker 

The one at the front On the left 

You have to keep it from being on too hard 

Or it spits out the Death as well 

I don’t have no cheese toasted sandwiches no more 

I have got a packet of Feta In the fridge 

There is something very very funny 

About the Refrigerator 

I got it a few years ago 

After the one that Martha gave me in 1990 

Died 

Before that I never had one 

I used to keep the milk outside 

The kitchen window 

On the ledge 

In the winter 

It was 10 years old 

That fridge 

When Martha give it to me 

She is an Architect 

I think she believes in Al Qaioviddiqui 

I am not sure 

But if she does 

I wish that she was dead as well 

And you too 

I really do 

If you do 

Really 

She lives just around the corner 

I moved in here in 2018 

They put me in here 

Because the Chapel was redeveloped It was crumbling 

The Chapel was built in 1983 From concrete 

I don’t live in The Chapel no more I come here 

This is a house made from bricks 

I bump in to her from time to time 

Jose used to like to go to orgies with his Black Wife 

Jose is not attracted to white women at all 

He is Black only 

Jose is from Espanol 

He is a really kind man 

He said that 

She sucked his cock in an Orgy 

And that it drew a big audience 

Anyway 

The one I have got now 

The refrigerator 

I got it from Argos 

I didn’t have no money for it 

I had to use my credit card 

Anyway 

Not that long ago 

The noise from it began to bother me 

I mean My perception changed 

I understood what that humming is 

I see it now alright 

It is Death 

From being nothing to me 

That noise 

It became Death 

I am cognizant now 

I cannot be in the room with it on no more 

I turn it off when I am in there 

I put it on when I am out of the room 

Such as At work 

Or in bed 

I used to love Parmesan Cheese 

Lashings of it 

On spaghetti 

De Cecco is the best Pasta 

I had the spaghetti 

With sundried tomatoes 

Olive Oil 

And Salami 

The best Parmesan I had 

Was from an Italian Deli In Fitzrovia 

Just up from Seven Dials 

Gouged from the round With a metal spike 

That was in 1992 

Incredible 

The best sundried tomatoes 

What I ever had 

Were the ones from Salvino 

On Brecknock Road 

They were thickly caked in sea salt and very very chewy 

I been through all sorts of phases 

With all sorts of cheese 

As you do From 1990 to 2003 

I was a shelf stacker 

In Sainsburys Camden 2100 - 0700 - 10 hour night shift 

I done weekends 

You got paid more for that 

Anyway 

I always done the Cheese 

Or the Cooked meats 

Sainsburys was where I really learned first hand 

What Evil is 

Up close and personal 

I done it 

That Job 

So that I could paint pictures on my time off 

In the winter I saw no light at all 

During the 13 winters 

Living that way 

Arising at 1600 Retiring at 0800 

Every day 

Due to needing to not disrupt my sleeping patterns 

What come from working at night at the weekend 

So I was fit to paint 

Going for months at a time 

Without seeing the sun 

Is something that you ought to try 

I really mean it 

Working at night 

Is bad for you 

It slowly destroys you 

Because it is not what God intended you to do 

For every year that you live nocturnal 

You will need 6 months to get your strength back 

Your vitality 

It was seven years 

From after I left that job 

Before I felt my feet 

Reconnect to the planet 

That is just the way that it is 

I used to like painting a real lot 

I don’t know why 

When you see Sainsburys on TV 

You don’t see the Rats and the Mice 

The droppings and the filth 

The suffering and the humiliation 

The Death 

Funny that.
