not really, it just seems to flow with me once i get the 1st 2 lines. but keep the same amount of sylables on each line because that will keep the rythem right.

Right here we go.....
Ham and cheese,
Ham and cheese!
add some bread,
you've got a toastie!
Ok so its not proper but it appeals to me for some reason; might be because I love toasties
Could I be the first person ever to try and write a poem about toasties?
Im still trying for a proper one, keep faith.

It's got a good beat; you can dance to it; I give it a 10. Not only that, it's a tasty treat.

Perhaps the funky pig would be better, to commemorate his lordship's ode to ham and cheese (if only the funky pig existed). *attempts to formulate the funky pig in his minds eye*

*pulls muscle during Funky Pig*
I knew that sommersault from the coffee table was going to be a bit much. 
*crawls to couch and leaves "Ham and Cheese" celebrations to those more limber*
