Tis the Whey Weigher’s way
To weigh
The whey
As she goes
About her day
Sifting curds
Through woven trays.
You can stay
If you may
To watch the way
She weighs her whey
In pots and jugs
Of rounded
Clay.
And though so many
Will downplay
The lowly whey
As throw away,
She knows it is
Quite fair to say
That whey is worthy
Of more sway
And should more than
Earn it’s pay.
(I had WAY too much fun with this today! 🙂 )

Yea, wonderful rhythm, rolling along, a work song, methinks, for singing when weighing the way. 🙂

🙂 Thanks, Dale! The cheese I’d made in my life was fresh goat cheese (well, my mama made it from our goat’s milk, and I watched and learned and then strained and sometimes pressed it in the woven basket — that then left the pattern of the weaving on the fresh cheese! 🙂 ) – but there is a rhythm to any kind of work, isn’t there? 🙂 I guess this one came through … XOXO
