After a tedious trek along the rugged path
On a humid sunny afternoon
With no cool shade to rest under
The thought of an ice cream came to mind
That made my mouth drool

I longed for a cone of cream 
Blended with strawberries, 
Sprinkled with nuts and almonds
A delectable sundae, 
Dressed in pink and white

As I desperately looked for,  
My favourite frozen treat
Wow, there came an ice cream vendor
With a four wheeled cart trundling along!
From him I bought one waffle cone,
Filled with large scoops of fluffy cream

As its delicious strawberry flavour,
Invaded my tongue 
Oh, it was heaven!

I felt its infinite smoothness, 
As the texture of satin or silk,
Soaking my parched mouth.
With my taste buds waltzing on my palate, 
It slid down through my gullet
And its creamy sweetness 
Sent thrills down my throat
Cooling my thummy and beating the heat.

This delectable dish is too yummy to resist
No wonder, to get ice cream, children scream!

Dearest Valsa, I adore this delicious delight! Your pen spills with wondrous imagery and metaphorical beauty; "As its delicious strawberry flavour, / Invaded my tongue" and "With my taste buds waltzing on my palate" - your artistry captures the thrilling taste and sensation of ice cream on a humid sunny afternoon. Who can resist? Now I want ice cream too! :) Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my sweet friend.. ~Susan
