Children at the ice cream store, are staking claims with hungry eyes But all those choices, ....how to pick, while clutching dollars for their prize? On their tip-toes,...peeking in, frost on noses like cherry roses! Standing there in mute despair, like indecisive millionaires !! With fifty flavors waiting there, tempting them to choose a pair How to choose a double dip? Should they get the chocolate chip, strawberry or bubble gum? Praline cream or butter rum? All those flavors ...is there one, that satisfies a drooling tongue? Finally mommy has a plan... Tell the smiling ice cream man Two yummy ice creams......in the cones Two different pints to carry home!

You are so right - I remember that once permission was given, I struggled to make the right and perfect decision - unlike healthy food in a restaurant. Very clever and, for me, nostalgic. CayCay

Carrie, A wonderful and fun poem to read. I remember the ice cream truck. As a child, i had a hard time picking just one flavor. Olive will love this poem, not only because it is sweet, but because it might melt with all the Xoolness before her contest is over. Enjoyed. LINDA
