A Lovely Little Daydream

Always having a problem with dairy,
having adverse side effects pretty fairly,
but being deprived of ice cream is just too much,
whereupon walking down frozen desserts aisle I got a hunch,

I daydreamed I was an ice cream queen,
making ice cream solely out of using soybeans,
helping people with lactose intolerance everywhere,
while helping to make my family and I millionaires,

It would come in all kinds of flavors,
pistachio, chocolate ribbon, anything you favor,
strawberry is the flavor that I would savor,
with nothing artificial on the ingredient label,

Then "poof" my daydream was all gone,
seeing some So Delicious ice cream made me feel undone,
returning home with my soy based vanilla ice cream,
just a middle class lady with a craving and a daydream.

You really know how to mix sublime self-awareness w/gut-busting humor, Cheryl. A very good tasting truth tolerant combo. Your poetic growth is amazing. The talent was always there, you just are tapping into it more, that's all. Great poetry ... and it really was a cool daydream while it lasted. Love and kisses to you, dear friend.
