Poetry Challenge #200-Mac & Cheese, Please!
What’s for lunch? Dinner? Breakfast? Dessert? Of all days, today, July 14th, there’s only one right answer:
Mac & Cheese please!
Today, July 14th, National Macaroni and Cheese Day is about the melding of two ooey-gooey favorites: pasta and cheese. What’s more, it’s also National Nude Day and Bastille Day—imagine that 3-way mash up . . . hmmmm . . . Viva La France! . . . moving on . . .

Poetry Challenge #200
Mac and Cheese, Please!
Macaroni and Cheese go together much better than Macaroni and Peas. Or Macaroni and Knees. Maybe Macaroni makes you…sneeze? wheeze? Oh, please!!!
Today, write a silly poem about two things that go together—with a twist. Change one thing. Make your poem rhyme in silly ways. Make up words if you need to.
You can choose your own pair of things that go together or use one from the list below.
salt & pepper bread & butter
peanut butter & jelly pen & pencil
bacon & eggs hammer & nail
batman & robin needle & thread
shoes & socks sugar & spice
Or try the July 14th 3 -way mash up of Bastille Day & Nude Day & Mac-n-Cheese!
Set Your Timer for 7 Minutes
Start Writing!
Don’t Think About it, just do it!
When you’re finished, treat yourself: Mac & Cheese Ice Cream anyone??
Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge more than 1900 days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. This is INCREDIBLE NUMBER 200! Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
