Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

Lickety-Split

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”

Ice Cream lyrics by Howard Johnson 1927

LICKETY-SPLIT

pied piper’s sprint
in a child’s cul-de-sac
dishy melody
little legs come running forth
taking their licks in no time

Gershon Wolf September 22, 2020 at 6:40 PM Ha, ha! Such a familiar sight and refrain. Nice one, Kim. :) gw Kim Rodrigues September 22, 2020 at 7:28 PM Thanks so much! I remember the first time I read: I scream... I was at the Catskill Game Farm, a private zoo which is closed now for childhood does not last forever.
