Cheesey Poetry Entries 2011 A POP SHOP POEM Two small girls Neither in curls ...Would skip the rubies and pearls For a chance to squeeze A jumbo grilled cheese In their mouths, please! By Rachel Rittweger & Erin Skala Seamus, 4th grade Cheesy Poem I love grilled cheese, Can I have some more please?! It is so very yummy, When I feed it to my tummy.

I couldn't live without my cheese! College Cravings By Morgan Gibbons Every Sunday morning as I lay in my dorm I wish I were home and could go back to the norm. Though the food at college can pass the test with an A, I would easily give it up for the Pop Shop any day. Back home, for years, every Sunday I would be, In a booth at the Pop Shop with my sister in glee! I wouldn’t even need a menu to pick Blueberry and Banana Nut Betty’s, please…and quick! As the moments passed till I could indulge in this treat I would look at the food the passed thinking, “Wow that looks sweet!” Whether it be an omlette, French toast or a famous grilled cheese The customers served always looked more than pleased. I wonder if I want to try something new next time? Or stick with that traditional order of mine. Sure I have ordered other things off the menu Reading off the newspaper, a world of options in view. The Haddon, The Park, all named after “Ave”’s So many grilled cheeses that I want to have. But then I remember no matter what I chose It’s food from the Pop Shop so I never can lose The gooey cheese, the bread, it is no surprise That it gets even better when I add my Pop Fries. Should I add a milkshake to complete my meal? Or will the Big Stink Cookie seal the deal? But Sunday was special, it was meant for pancakes To dip in my syrup that is shaped like a lake. Those Betty’s are always the size of my face I enjoy every morsel for its delectable taste. Here it comes, yes the table she is approaching is mine! She puts down the pancakes and man they smell fine! No matter how many times I’ve had them in the past Every time, never fails, my heart beats real fast! My first bite is amazing and I begin to swoon They are out of this world, as if from the moon! The batter, the mix-ins, it all tastes so great! I don’t think anything is better than what I just ate. But then suddenly reality its and I open my eyes Realizing in front of me, I’m missing my prize. I am sitting in my room at the college where I stay And sadly the Pop Shop is miles away. I guess I will trek off to the cafeteria for now Solemn and sad, my head is bowed. I think of what I’m missing and can’t wait to return To the Pop Shop to indulge in those Betty’s I yearn! So this Sunday morning when I am up and awake I start my countdown till my Pop Shop trip next break! Once I am home, to the Pop Shop I will dart Because there is always a soft spot for it in my heart!     American (cheese) the Beautiful   Oh forest of flavors full of taste I wander through your browned cliffs of bread watching streams of cheese run without haste through trees of tomatoes oh so red past beautiful rocks of avocado ridges of sweet bacon hard and lean through the lushness of pesto meadow and gourmet mustards that lie unseen toward the lake of mozzarella glow ‘round boulders of pickles gray and green smelling the warm gold Jarlsberg blossoms climbing o’er the focacia ridges surrounded by the sharp cheddar mums crossing juicy chicken slice bridges past black olives parading like nuns clouds of mayonnaise ever so dear and amber waves of carm’lized un’yuns tis April again grilled cheese is here a forest of lush tastes for me to find The Land of the Pop Shop draws me near rich veins of flavors for me to mine.   by Walt Howat     The Sweet Grilled Cheese Grilled cheese, Grilled cheese, it’s so great. Sometimes I think I want to eat the plate. Cheesy white or cheesy yellow, Cheese oozing out the side to say, “Hello!” Grilled cheese, Grilled cheese, ten feet thick, I’d eat grilled cheese off a lollipop stick!! Made with white bread or even rye, I’ll eat grilled cheese till I die!! Grilled cheese, Grilled cheese, gooey good. Want my grilled cheese ? You wish you could! I eat grilled cheese both day and night. If you try to take it, we will fight!!   by Carlos, 5th grade   The Pop Shop Oh, so yummy! Can you guess?

What did I behold? A cat on my bed. And my sheets in shreds. Smelling so much like cheese!   Shew! I said to the cat. Who ate my sheets of cheese with great hunger? Then I did behold. My bed was made of bread! Was I still asleep? I couldn’t hear a peep?   No one would ever believe it. But I was in a tizzy My bed was a shambles. My sheets were made of cheese And I was caught between two slices of bread That should have been my bed and bedspread.   Oh what a lark it was. And the cat began to growl like a tiger. I thought that tiger wanted me. Was I a ham in a slice of cheese and bread? Just when I began to panic I began to shake awake…   It was just my Mom. Another Monday. Another schoolday. Another Thursday! I climbed out of bed and They asked how did I sleep?!   I had nothing to say… Except Mom please no Grilled Ham and Cheese! Grilled Cheese Haiku First meal I could cook The stove top posed such danger Ouch! I burnt myself! -- Emily Hammell   Mitchell, 3rd grade Oh cheese, oh cheese It is so very gooey. Oh cheese, oh cheese I want it now before I frown. Oh please, give me some cheese. I don’t really care what kind it is. Just please hand me some cheese Before I start to weep. Matthew, 4th grade Cheese, cheese, cheese, Please, please, please, I want grilled cheese, From the Pop Shop, please! I can’t believe the sight, When I walk in for a bite. The grilled cheese was great, I wanted eight. The best part was the sixties look, It was way better than reading a book. The Sundae Sundays are really fun, I hope it doesn’t melt in the sun. The Pop Shop is the best by far, I really love the grilled cheese bar. The soda fountain was really neat, The Pop Shop can’t be beat! So, here is my poem. I hope it’s the best. Brendan, 4th grade Grilled Cheese Oh My Oh, how I love the grilled cheese on my plate! It’s so gooey and hot and really tastes great! The soda has  bubbles that go up my nose. The ice cream is so good I’ll have two of those. Oh, my belly feels full and it is time to trot. See you next week at the Pop Shop! Chad, 5th grade The Good Cow A cow goes moo isn’t that what they do they give me the cheese that I put on my steak oh geez that’s some good cheese I should thank  that cow for the cheese because it made me go wee-eese but sadly I ate him too Craig, 5th grade Mozzarella, Swiss, American, Provolone, You can eat it with a friend or eat it alone, All types of different cheese they all taste great Eat it on your pasta or eat it with your steak, It tastes like this, it tastes like that, If you eat too much, you’re going to get fat! Shannon, 5th grade Pop Shop Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla, Different flavors we can sell ya! Toppings we all love for sure But don’t forget there’s even more… Hot dogs, burgers and some fries Crispy, crunchy, they’ll tantalize.
