Grilled What?
 The Pop Shop has the best.
It's above all the rest.
What is it? Can you guess?
It's grilled cheese!
It's really quite an ease to get the grilled cheese you please.
 
Just go down to Collingswood.
I'm really sure you should.
Right on Haddon Avenue.
There it is right next to you.
 
There's more than 30 different kinds.
So come on the Pop Shop is a wonderful find!

Grilled Cheese
It's the best tasty treat,
That you'll never be able to beat.
Stuffed with cheese,
It's sure to please.
It's a great snack,
If you loose it you will want it back.
You might find it in the middle of the street,
Or under your seat,
Visit the Pop Shop for your grilled cheese,
Be sure to say please!

Inside The Pop Shop
Inside the Pop Shop it’s plain to see it’s a place for you and me.
People sit and drink their pop with a little hop.
Kids sit on red stools going round and round.
Tons of fun can be found, inside the Pop Shop.

Cheese, Myself, and I
 
warm, thick layer oozes through the toasted sheet of breads,
a simple combination, but an extravagant taste,
gooeyness at the tip of my tongue, a piece of heaven,
i want to keep it all to myself,
golem in human form,
the meal fills the emptiness that rumbles
it fills a part of me
i'm on top of the world
with only cheese, myself, and i

There’s no meat
Sit down, take a seat

Bread on the bottom,
And bread on the top,
Surrounding gooey cheese,
At the Pop Shop,
Grilled cheese is more than good, its great,
It's the sandwich we all appreciate,
So put a dozen on my plate,
GO GRILLED CHEESE!

A Cheesy Delight
A sandwich so pure
Its the best around
Creamy cheese slapped in the middle
With the bread all around
Tasty and delicious
I can't get enough
It's so good for my tummy
Even better for my mouth
I love it so much
Don;t you see
Hot cheese melted with ease
A wonderful meal for everyone indeed

Grilled Cheese!
What is this cheesy sensation?
That is known across the nation.
A sandwich that holds almost everything.
And makes your taste buds sing!
You can put tomato, peanut-butter, and ham.
And even a slimy clam.
It’ll always be a surprise!
Just open up your eyes!
You never can go wrong.
But it never stays for long.
When you take a bite.
You’ll love this blissful delight.
No one can take part.
This sandwich will win your heart.
So why not have it today?
This meal will brighten your day!

Grilled Cheese, Grilled Cheese,
Oh give me some please!
The warm gooey taste,
how I'll never put it to waste,
The smell, the taste, the joy,
Like a child getting a new toy!
Grilled Cheese, Grilled Cheese,
Please give me some, please!

Cheesy Poetry
It’s a cheesy treat for a craving tongue.
It’s like Heaven for the young.
Lather it with tomato soup.
Eat it with a study group.
It’ll make your tongue go crazy.
It’ll make your mind go lazy.
It’ll make your legs wobbly.
It’ll make your head go bubbly.
Eat it here.
Eat it there.
Eat it every…everywhere!
Linda Liu, Kingsway Middle School
the sandwich is grilled cheese
to everyone it will please
with a buttery crunch
we all can munch
until it oozes...
but the same sandwich again he chooses
and again from the top
here at the Pop Shop

Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese always makes me smile
But I have to wait a while
Because the Pop Shop isn’t finish cooking it
I just want a little bit
My favorites with ham
Or maybe even add some spam
I don’t even care
You better not dare
To touch my yummy grilled cheese!

Grilled Cheese tastes so amazing
It will get your tastebuds blazing
The Popshop makes the best
Better than all the rest
Its gooey and gooey
And it should be kind of chewy
You can eat it with some soup
And it doesn't smell like a chicken coop
You may eat it when you please
Oh how I love grilled cheese

Gooey in my mouth
Reality check after I've eaten it
Incessant hunger gone
Love the cheese
Like the crispy, buttery bread
Eat it everyday
Drives the hunger away
 
Cheesy goodness
Highlight of my day
Enough is never enough
Everyday loves grilled cheese
Soo delicious
Everyday is great with grilled cheese

The Pop Shop
The Pop Shop is the place to be,
It’s the place to see,
It’s the soda pop shop.
When you’re hot to the trot,
Or a cool cat not,
Chill at this amazing spot!
The food will rock your taste,
It’s not a waste,
So come out with haste!
It’s the soda pop shop.

I want grilled cheese
can you make me one please?
put the melted cheese inside the bread
if you don't hurry I'll be dead
tomatoes,bacon,ham, and peppers I don't want
I want it plain
don't drive me insane
Pop shop makes the best
the price is less
grilled cheese tastes so good
it puts me in a better moo

I love to eat grilled cheese
And even though it’s 1000 degrees
It fills my needs
I eat it over seas and in a breeze
It’s much better than peas
I don’t get a disease
When I eat Pop Shops grilled cheese
 
Yehya Kobeissi 14 Woolwich

Where's the bread
Where's the cheese
Can somebody make me a grilled cheese please
We need to start to make them now
Or I promise you I will start to growl
Grilled cheese is the bomb
So please don't tell my mom
It has a great smell and taste
So don't let it go to waste

When in doubt
please don't leave me out.
I am nothing but food
but when you're in that mood.
Just pick up two pieces of bread with a piece of cheese.
Cook!
And you just unlocked your heart with keys.
When in doubt
Only talk about
Me! Grilled Cheese!
Please tell your friends
and they will do a backwards bend!
They will stand on their head
and dream about grilled cheese in bed.

The Cheese Tease 
I want Cheese
It's what I sees
So please
Make it cheese
Geez Lu-weez
Stop the tease
I want my cheese
So if the cheese
Puts a squeeze
On my knees
I still want cheese
So please
I need my cheese
Paaaaa leeeze
Don’t put on the freeze
And don't act like Cochise
Just order me cheese
Avocado and cheese
Bacon and cheese
No it won’t bring disease
Not even a sneeze
Nor an asthma wheeze
It just good cheese
Cheese is what I gotta
Have on rye, white or ciabatta
Or have in any other way
Even that by Bobbie Flay
But dear, I need cheese
Cheese, cheese, cheese to please
So stop your tease
And order me some cheese
Why the third degrees
With all your breeze
About my cheese?
Yes dear
I hear
Yes dear
Yes dear
Okay
Okay
It’s what you say
Order me the Salad
 By Walt Howat
 Cheesy Deliciousness

Cheesy goodness, sticky and delicious
Tastes awful great but can't say its nutritious
Crunching and munching, cheese oozing down your fingers
The delightful smell of butter and cheese peacefully lingers
Don't eat it too fast or soon you'll be left with just a crumb
Yummy grilled cheese, everyone wants some!

  Gotta Stop at the Pop Shop
 
One day while Googling soda fountain drinks,
We came upon The Pop Shop and what did we think?
I wonder if this place is close to our house?
I Mapquested the directions to check it out.
 
The Pop Shop’s in Collingswood,
We live in DC.
How am I going to get me some of their yummy grilled cheese?
 
Lo and behold we did quickly realize,
The Pop Shop was in the middle of our DC to New York drive.
And then Bobby Flay,
He cinched the deal.
We knew we had to stop for a meal.
 
Thirty-something choices,
It was grilled cheese galore!
Grilled cheese with bacon, with turkey and more.
Wheat bread, white bread, rye bread too.
So many to choose from –
A grilled cheese dream come true!
And of course the ice cream, the shakes, malts and egg creams.
Endless dessert choices or so it seemes.
 
I love grilled cheese at the Pop Shop!
It is totally worth the detour and stop!

Mom’s Grand Breakfast

 
Be sure the little child shall come
and get red ketchup on her face;
her pajama top will crinkle some
and spilled juice will be a disgrace.
 
But her little face will smile a lot,
as her dimples make their space.
Some dripped syrup will leave a spot
when she gets her “betties” sliced in place.
 
Mom will tell little Joe to stop;
his antics are causing a frowned face.
Its Mom’s breakfast at the Pop Shop;
it’s Saturday morn, the Shop’s the place.
 
The bright balloons fly high on top;
the white hat drops, covers Joe’s face.
It’s Mom’s fun feast at the Pop Shop.
On this sweet morn, it’s Mom’s home base.

Trials of a teenager
 
Oh to pretend to be a little mouse
to slip in when the lights are down
And have to myself the entire house
for but me to just run around.
 
Sure I could wait for my folks to all leave
to go off down to the Pop Shop
For some sweet fancy food I do believe.
That’s where they make their Friday stop.
 
Now I could play my games of X Box dare;
snuggled up in my warm hoodies.
But left all home alone would that be fair,
with them eating all those goodies?
 
Tonight I shall not be a little mouse;
food at the Pop Shop’s to be done.
I shall instead with my folks leave the house,
have a sundae like a good son.
