Pepperoni, Cheddar Cheese, And Ritz Crackers

My Favorite Childhood Snack

One slice of meaty pepperoni,

And one slice of creamy cheddar cheese,

Between two crunchy and salty Ritz crackers.

***

Like a savory Oreo,

Only you can’t buy it preassembled.

***

No clue how I came to love this combo,

But my first memories of it were at a Girl Scout day camp I attended in the summer.

***

It was during snack time, of course.

We sat on the ground,

Enjoying the food our moms prepared for us.

***

I had the tastiest snack of all,

And even shared with a couple of girls,

Who enjoyed it greatly.

***

It always circles back to childhood,

Those foods we love or hate,

Doesn’t it?

***

As I write this,

I can’t help but crave this nostalgic treat.

Maybe someday I’ll once again indulge.
