Desire and Delicious

what I wouldn’t give for a Klondike bar
walking a mile would not be too far,
but going uphill would be too much
going that far is beyond my touch

I would settle for a Hoodsie of a trade
if I didn’t have to make that grade
a popsicle wouldn’t do, I want the best
but getting there I would need to rest

perhaps I would pass an ice cream truck
stopping half way would be just my luck
going that distance is fine for what I want 
I could then have both in half the jaunt.
