Man’s Best Friend
…for Octoberfest
A man’s best friend
If you please
Is not a dog
But cheddar cheese.
A cheese whose taste
Runs sharp or mellow
Why cheese with beer
Can help a fellow
And make him look
Like a handsome hunk
When he passes some
To a girl that’s drunk
In the local pub
If truth be told
When the girls get silly
Then cheese is gold
Where drafts of beer
Make you look better
As she gulps them down
With a side of cheddar!

Hilary McRee Flanery studied Theatre Arts in college at Webster University in St. Louis Missouri, USA. She has been in numerous theatre productions over the last 20 years but her real claims to fame have been "Opening Nights" in leading roles on delivery tables throughout the US Midwest where she has performed and produced ten children.
"Raising a large family and writing means that I set up strict priorities. I start each day with a prayer that has been in my family since God was a boy - 'Come Holy Ghost...give me the faith of your Saints, the courage of your martyrs, and the money and success of your athiests.'"
Hilary and her husband, Randy, have been hapily married for 30 years and are certifiably insane. They know this to be a fact since Randy is a Clinical Psychologist.
The Flanerys reside in St. Louis, Missouri with their 10 children, termites and a large bottle of wine. She blogs at www.hilaryflanery.blogspot.com.
