Blue Cheese and Dirty Widgets

This is a break in our Dirty Blue Widgets series of poems. I want to tell you a story which may intrigue you and give you some food for thoughts in this modern society, driven by crazy and snob principles, making good people feel like poor dirty blue widgets so many times.

Is Blue Cheese Dirty, or What?

I don’t know how many of you had the chance to taste blue cheese in their lives. Personally, I believe this is one of those inventions made up specially to draw the line between rich widgets and poor people, between snob widgets and ordinary guys, between those widgets who need status symbols in order to exist, and people who just live and enjoy their life as it is, be it blue or pink, miserable or full of happiness.
First of all, I know blue cheese is made like that on purpose. I know it is not dirty. But, may I ask you, my friends, what difference does it make if you stink on purpose, or your smell is only the byproduct of not washing yourself often enough? If I keep a piece of cheese in the fridge until it becomes stinky and blue, would you be honored if I offered it to you for dinner? Or would you rather think about me that I’m only one of those dirty blue widgets and you’d hate me for that?
Why do you think they serve that stinky cheese with sweet grapes? Nobody wants to drop dead at the dinner table, after all

Be Different, Even If You Look Dirty

Moving from foods to clothing, snobs are still here. We can see it easily, if we take a look at the jeans section of the stores, for example. Have you noticed how dirty new blue jeans look nowadays? Why would I pay that much to buy clothes that seem to come from prehistoric ages? Why would I want to show small pieces of my leg’s skin through my blue jeans? This dirty blue fashion can go crazy at times, and we are probably insane to follow it.

What people forget is that they all chase the same dream of being unique, thus resulting in a very uniform world of dirty blue widgets which all look alike.
