Let's Face It
by Stephen Philip Druce

I was running late for a date with a lady - needed a shave and realised I'd run out of razors.

There wasn't enough time to go shopping for some, so my flatmate suggested I use a cheese grater instead.

I arrived at the bar to meet the lady - "get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

I laughed it off and tried to change the subject - "get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"What cheese on my face? - you must be joking" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"I can assure you lady, there is no cheese on my face" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"Madam I beseech thee. Do you think I would nobly grace this prestigious rendezvous in such seductive fervour with cheese on my face?"I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"Look, do you really think I would misplace with such anomaly, a gross misrepresentation of my face by adorning it in cheese?" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"Do you think I would indefensibly in such disregard and folly, blunder with impudence by exibiting a cheesy face?" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"Do you really think I would jeopardise these romantic proceedings by letting the Red Leicester on my shaven face fester?" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

"Do you think I would let an imposter like the Double Gloucester ruin this date? - I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare wear the camembert!" I screamed. "Get all that cheese off your face now" she said.

When I got home later that evening my flatmate said - "get all your stubble from out of the cheese grater". I apologised and washed the dishes. "And another thing" he said, "what's that?" I said.

"Get all that cheese off your face now" he said.
