Strawberry cheesecake
The day we celebrate you
I will eat you whole!

A/N: National Cheesecake Day, established in 1985, is annually celebrated across the United States on 30 July. The origin of this celebration is unclear, but who needs to know when the most important thing is that you get to eat cheesecake!
Some sources say it was conceived to celebrate the popular dessert and the many variations of cheesecake. Many restaurants and bakeries offer special deals and promotions on this day.

I wrote this poem for Mickeydred July unofficial challenge, which you can find below:
