News at Eleven (Back Page): It's a safe bet to declare that

James McIntyre was the cheesiest poet of all time. And not just because his verse is, shall we say, not among the most spectacular examples of the poetic form written during the 19th century. No, McIntyre's poetry was cheesy due to one of its frequent subjects: cheese. As the Ingersoll-based bard noted in the preface to the "Dairy and Cheese Odes" section of Poems of James McIntyre, "as cheese making first began in this county and it has already become the chief industry of many counties, it is no insignificant theme." Of the verses he dedicated to cheese, perhaps the best known, or most mocked, is an ode to a seven thousand pound wheel of pressed curd that Torontonians observed with amused awe during the Provincial Exhibition of 1866.
