Coconut So Full of Flavour

The ice cream shop has many favours
originate in Italy as Gelato it's named
many Italians took it across the world
now on our fat, it's to be blames

My personal favourite is hard to find
so many shops just don't have it
only a select few keep it in stock
but I keep looking never will quit

Pure beautiful delightful so divine
just a few names it's truly deserving
coconut so full of flavour
in my mind, it's the Gelato king

Kids love ice cream so much
whether it be a wafer, '99 or cone
but we're all little children at heart
we all love that cold effect every part

what a thrill to find my coconut
two large scoops so full of taste
creamy with little coconut nuggets
take it slowly every drop don't haste

G'day Gordon … a very versatile product indeed is coconut. Great in ice cream, but also in cakes, curries, and fish recipes. I'm drooling Gordon - thank you - Lindsay

Hi Gordon you are right...coconut is so flavorful it overwhelms most flavors especially in cooking. I grew up with so much of it but I can imagine it would be harder to find in Scotland! Enjoyed your write :)

It sounds yummy, Gordon. I have so many favorites: Butterscotch, peanut butter chocolate, Licorice. I love the unusual ones. But I rarely eat ice cream any more. Just not worth the weight gain!

Sounds wonderful. I don't think I've tried Coconut. Would probably love it. Blessings to you, Gina

Gordon. This poem is fun. I love ice cream too. My favorite was Pralines and Cream at Baskin Robins. Hard to find that now. Well written :)
