Not An Ode To String Cheese

By Leon Barnard

String cheese is really strange. It can taste Really Delicious if you get the good kind, that is nice and stringy. And doesn't fall apart.

How come little strings of Mozzarella cheese taste very yummy and big pieces don't taste so good? Not by themselves, at least. I think I'm eating the good kind, because usually it comes out in long, thin strings like it's supposed to. But then it'll tear into two big strings when I'm almost done. So I'm not sure. It goes well with Led Zepplin, anyhow.

My cat likes string cheese too. I shared some with him. He looked funny when he ate it. And he sounded like some people sound when they're going to sleep and they lick their lips so their mouth won't be so dry. I only gave him a little though.

Because it is my string cheese. Except now it doesn't look as good as before. I think it's because my cat was eating it too, and maybe he got some germs on my fingers. Even though I heard that cats' mouths are really clean. (Or was it dogs?)

Anyhow, it doesn't look so good now, and it already split into two big pieces and I don't know which one to eat first. So maybe I'll give the rest to my cat.

It makes my fingers smell, anyway. String cheese is still my good friend though.

I like the kind in the red package best.
