CHEESE DAY SPECIAL

Cheese Jelly Crisis
by Flufflepuff

Within my tangy entrails lie
A doubt I can't ignore
That's been in place since my debut,
Perhaps even before.

Why am I here? To be consumed,
To satisfy a need
For half a day? A Neopet
I would twice over feed. 

Why, look at me! I'm rent with holes
In both body and mind.
My siblings, though, are all smooth-skinned:
A sign of peace of mind.

I speak to no one -- how can I?
The cheese language is rare!
Those who hear me understand
Not, and cannot compare. 

Alone, a hybrid, and bizarre,
I quietly go mad.
The sharp salt-sweet of my cheese thoughts
Do spiral and turn bad. 

Each question goes unanswered. Is
There something that I've missed?
I'm both a cheese and jelly, so 
Should I even exist?

Through my unrest, one anchored thought
Maintains my sanity.
Neopia does not contain
Another cheese like me.

A Zombie's Favorite Cheese
by Dr_tomoe

Cheese is a staple of
many Neopets diets
and there's so many kinds
of cheese, it's a riot.

And with all the different types
of cheesy variety,
there's a flavor for everyone,
even the zombie.

Yes, the undead, when
not battling for the Obelisk
have many dietary supplements,
most which are too gruesome to list.

And the zombies of Neopia
have a cheese of their own
That makes them hunger
from the bottom of their bones.

The flavor that makes zombies
moan out and wheeze
is the Cheeseroller staple,
a wheel of Brain Cheese.

Sure, others may balk
and toss it aside,
but for Brain Cheese the undead
will roam the Meridellian countryside.

Everything Tastes Better With Cheese Cookies
by Rielcz

They rival chocolate chip
And you can't stop at just one.
They might go good with meat,
But alone they're just as fun.

Cheese Cookies have a tasty taste
Like no other confection.
If you like cheese (And hey, who doesn't?)
They are just pure perfection. 

They might be high in calories,
But that's not a huge problem. 
You'll be running 'round just to find more
So you can again eat them!

Vegan Cheese and Neo Crackers
At the Cooking Pot combined:
A perfect mix of EPICness.
How could you've been so blind

As to never have heard of them
Before this great cheesy day? 
I'm sure henceforth you'll eat them all
In all possible ways.

A Gourmet Club Outing
by Agallis

Late night at the Altador Opera House,
And you're in for a very rare treat!
The tenor Gorgonzo in honour of Cheese Day
Will sing -- and then we can eat.

"His voice," say the critics, "is rounded yet keen,
With a hint of a fruity bouquet."
Tonight's concert's stuffed 
With delicious refinement:
Why, it's sure to blow you away!

So, be seated, rich ladies and rather ripe gents,
For I think now the curtain is rising:
The Cheese-Catalogue Aria from "Don Parmigiani!"
Very spicy and oddly enticing...

And this light refrain's from "Mozz'rella di Figaro" --
And here comes "The Magic Fruit-Feta" --
And down comes the curtain. A magical evening!
But what's next you'll like even better:

For your appetite's whetted 
I hope now dear guests,
And music does not fill the belly:
Signor Gorgonzo steps up to the plate
And is served with grapes and blue jelly.

Ode To Cheeseroller
by Martia_elior

There's a grassy hill in Meridell
Where the air has a cheesy smell;
On the hilltop you can find a shop
And there you'd really make a stop!

The shopkeeper is a friendly Techo
Who runs a game that's like a show;
He sells different types of cheese --
Just choose the one you want among these:

Triple mustard, Alkenore, spotted,
Big beefy, peppermint, or mutated?
Apparently, the expensive ones seem
To give the highest chances to win.

You have to race the cheese down the hill
In sixty seconds to prove your skill.
The Techo also gives you a wooden stick
To help you move the cheese quick.

Be careful to avoid any obstacles
On your way, like trees and holes,
Because they can slow you down and
Make you waste some precious time.

You are followed by a wide audience
Who often support your performance;
They applaud you if you're winning
And incite you when you are losing.

If you manage to finish in a minute
Neopoints and cheese will be your loot.
You may also win a random avatar
And, on the boards, act like a star!

So, if you had a bad day get it over --
Come in Meridell and play Cheeseroller!
