Ice-Cream With Daddy


Strawberry, 
Vanilla, 
Banana split 

Maybe, I'll have it in a cone, filled with one scoop of triple chocolate chip.
Don’t forget the rainbow sprinkles and cherry sauce that sticks~ Napkins at the ready, for any melting messy drips.

Daddy says " your brain will freeze" if eaten far too quick~ 
I laughed when daddy’s tongue changed colour, from the blue ice lolly he licked

How am I to choose, so many I could pick~ Imagine tasting Each yummy flavour altogether in a dish.

To every day have ice-cream 
That would be my wish 
Breakfast, lunch and dinner without ever feeling sick.

I tried a new flavour today , and daddy put a shiny coin in a jar which 
Labeled TIPS 


Rocky road with chocolate toppings, shaped like little fish

The lady smiled , enjoy! She said , and that is what I did ..



. I love my daddy, And I love our ice-cream trips.

A truly enjoyable read of your wonderful childhood memories, beautifully written, Julianne. I still have trouble making up my mind about what flavour I should have even now. Have a great rest of the week, fellow poet.
