Za
​By: Masen Miller

With a crunchy crust and center cheesy,
only created from a ball of dough.
The great pizza chefs make it look easy.

A day without it makes me uneasy.
You can get just some cheese or a combo
with a crunchy crust and center cheesy.

Use a napkin if it gets too greasy.
Eat too much and you’ll get a big torso.
The great pizza chefs make it look easy.

Eating one by myself would be breezy.
It is not hard to eat two in a row
with a crunchy crust and center cheesy.

Pineapple on pizza makes me queasy.
To the restaurant, a tip I bestow.
The great pizza chefs make it look easy.

Some like it green; others like it meaty.
Maybe one day I could bake like a pro
with a crunchy crust and center cheesy;
​the great pizza chefs make it look easy.

Editor Dalton Machholz said, "This poem is funny and showcases a love for pizza in a humorous way everyone can enjoy."
