Ice Cream Gran 4 - Grans Day Off

Gran had had a busy night And so I manned the van I said if you want ice cream, Kids This evening, I’m your man All the children shouted out It’s Gran we want to see Because there’s not much cash about She gives us ice creams free I said that's just the kind of thing That Ice Cream Gran would do So if she gives out free ice cream I’ll do the same thing too Those kids sure had an appetite And many asked for two A couple ordered three or four And soon my stock was through I drove the van around to Gran’s Its chimes I couldn’t ring For when she let me take the van She said, ‘DON’T TOUCH A THING.’ I told her that the kids were grateful For her charity But when I told her what I meant She simply glared at me And when she spoke she said to me You know of you I’m fond But those kids saw you coming You were well and truly conned In future I will serve the kids And combat villains too And telling of my exploits? Well, I’ll leave THAT to you.

Things are heating up, story getting exciting, you did what you had to do, but no winnings to take back - this is Hilarious, I can in fact imagine the scene,I see your gran lecturing you on how you shouldn't have been conned by children! Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks, Jennifer. I didn’t know at the time that gran was about to go on a mammoth adventure, so I’m glad I gave her this day off. I’m afraid what comes next is a bit of a monster, so the reader might need a coffee… or something stronger. Terry

Hey Terry, Ice cream gran’s turning into a serious serial cartoon strip, she would definitely make a great comic book hero, with crafty illustrations and your rhyming technique, they could make this a favourite with the children, hopefully someone outside PS spots your talents, brilliant absolutely love it, cheers David

You could make a chap’s head swell, David. Seriously, I’m having fun writing her and if she was ‘spotted’ I’d be delighted. Hey, maybe I could get sponsored by Zimmer. Ha ha. Thanks. Terry

Aha… but I got all the ice cream I could eat… except of course, I’d given it all away!
