In times gone by, in a land of dreams, Where childhood thrived with laughter and gleams, A story unfolded, enchanting and true, Of mirthful times and dreams that grew. In a quaint little town, where joy ran rife, There stood an ice cream truck, full of life. With its jingling tune and colorful display, It brought smiles and laughter every day. Children flocked to its magical sight, Their dreams bear flight, day and night. With sticky fingers and faces beaming, They tasted flavors, delicious and gleaming. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry delight, Each scoop is a memory, pure and bright. In that little town, under the summer sun, The ice cream truck was where the fun had begun From morning till dusk, they would gather around, In eager anticipation of the sweetest sound. The tinkling melody that filled the air, Drawing them closer, without a care. The children would form a queue, their eyes wide, As the ice cream truck parked by the roadside. They'd count their coins, their pockets emptied, Hoping to indulge in the flavors they craved. The ice cream man, with a smile so bright, Served up scoops with all his might. He knew each child's favorite treat, And made sure their dreams were complete With laughter and giggles, they'd savor each bite, Their taste buds danced in sheer delight. The ice cream truck became their halcyon place, A sanctuary of joy, a sweet space. And as the years passed, and childhood flew by, A symbol of innocence and a carefree day, Ice cream truck remained a cherished reminiscence Where dreams were nurtured in the sweet existence.

Congratulations on your win. A fun write. One school I went to had an ice cream truck waiting for us to get out of school. The only problem was, I could not buy ice cream everyday. Have a great day.................
