chalk or cheese

holy bat cave, man!

what a din, Gungadin!

a battle roars within

one of the trio of caves

and the gorges that took centuries

to mature, like the cheese…

.

the fable is that a dragon

dwells there as well…

.

well, well… you can chew the fat or crack your teeth

on that tale , or not

it’s all the same to me

it’s all as different as not

getting involved between a rock and a soft substance

it’s hard, as i happen to be both

lactose intolerant , claustrophobic

and ignorant

so i won’t get dragged in

by a dragon or not

to any argument on the subject of

cheddars and gorges, chalks and cheeses

i give in before it even starts

chalk or cheese? same difference, Lancelot !

Day 22 prompt.- write a poem in which two things have a fight. Two very unlikely things, if you can manage it. Like, maybe a comb and a spatula. Or a daffodil and a bag of potato chips. Or perhaps your two things could be linked somehow – like a rock and a hard place – and be utterly sick of being so joined. The possibilities are endless!
