Poem[]

I search the grocery store in haste, To find that sweet lip-smacking taste. And there it is, in aisle nine. It's just a dollar thirty-nine. A bag of doodles most delicious, Check the label: They're nutritious! And do you know how satisfied, I feel while munching doodles fried? I savor each bright orange curl, Until it seems I just might hurl. Their praises I will always sing. Cheez Doodles are my everything.|Nate Wright from page 95 of Big Nate In a Class by Himself (The novel version of "Ode to a Cheez Doodle").

"I search the grocery store in haste. My goal: a cheesy, crunchy taste. I find it, deep in aisle nine, For just a dollar thirty-nine. A bag of doodles made of cheese, My appetite, a sweet disease. My friends and teachers tell me that, I'm eating saturated fat. But they know not how satisfied I feel while munching doodles fried. I savor each bright orange curl, Until it seems I just might hurl, Their praises I will always sing. Cheez Doodles, they're my everything."

Backstory[]

The Ode to a Cheez Doodle (Comic strip version) arc began on March 24, 1997, and ended on March 29, 1997. It was a one week long arc, with Nate getting a B+ because according to Ms. Clarke he "mumbled quite a bit" and he also had orange teeth because allegedly his mouth was filled with Cheez Doodles when he recited the poem. Before the final draft of the poem, Nate had wrote a rough draft on March 26, 1997 but had got rid of it because he couldn't find a word that rhymed with "orange".
