:music: Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni :music:

What did he call macaroni, the feather or the cap? It’s things like this that keep me up nights.

Regardless of whether or not the feather or the cap got the name, my question is why macaroni and not some other name?

God bless you always!!!

Mainly because macaroni rhymes with pony.
