Ice Pops

Colored bright, for kids’ delight, The ice pops on a stick Start dripping way before they’re done, A foolish snack to pick. So hands and faces bear the traces Of the colored dye Which, too, is splattered on their clothes, A mess they can’t deny. An ice cream cup can fill you up With drips in the container. To say that is a better choice To me is a no-brainer.

Ah, but sneaky mothers can put all kinds of nutritious things in an ice pop! Another great write, but ice cream in a dish is my only wish! Aloha! Rico

so vividly described in your wonderful rhyme Ilene and its definitively ice cream for me any day - the artificial colours of the ice pops aren't attractive and i can imagine they make kids even more hyper!:-) hugs Jan x
