Ode To The Weird Cheese In A Spray Can

Oh weirdo cheese that comes in a spray can.
You are so unique,
Unlike any other cheeses out there,
Your color.
It is one of the most unnatural,
Neon orange colors I have ever seen.
Your texture is that of oil paint.
No other cheese is like that,
Unless it is melted.
Also,
The “Do Not Refrigerate” sign
Around your neck
Makes me wonder.
Why Not?
What are you made of?
Do you actually have milk by-products in you,
Or are you just cheese flavored plastic?
You remind me of the cheese and crackers
That I snacked on during kindergarten.
Too much overwhelmed me.
So,
This is my ode to you,
Spray cheese.
May you continue your unique
And hunger reducing qualities.
May you enjoy your long warm shelf life!

I've always been a little afraid of spray can cheese... Nonetheless, this poem makes me want to try it.
