I Know About Ice Cream

Ice cream comes in a gazillion flavors Eating it doesn’t do me any favors Seems one cone puts on me a pound This I know, and it’s not too profound! written January 28, 2022 submitted to "Bite Size Poetry No. 49" Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Hi Milton. You know what they say, "One minute on your lips, forever on your hips" I already have butter pecan hips and a maple frosted tummy. Oh, the good things in life.

Hey, Milt. I’ll get my Gran to fly some around, clear the helipad. Ice cream = ‘yum’ in any language. Terry

True. I'll be looking for Grannie! Ooops, forgot I don't have a helipad! Well, anyway, so glad you enjoyed my poem. I love the Gran ones.

I too love ice cream, I'm a rum and raisin man and not forgetting a chocolate flake ( that's two pounds lol) Tom

Yep, I still love ice cream. Who doesn't??? But, it can add many pounds if not eaten in moderation.

Remember Neopolitan? Those were the only three flavors I remember as a child - strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.

Oh yes, and when we got a banana split, it always had those three kinds in it. I still love a banana split now and then. I'll get one of those whims, put on my clothes (generally late after I've dressed for night) and go out to Dairy Queen and bring one back. Deb used to laugh at me when I would do that! I do that with donuts, too, but more rarely now that I'm working to control my diabetes.
