Concession at the movies is outrageously expensive and I bet ballgames are the same!

To see a baseball game/ American football is on my bucket list. dont think it will happen for me as i'm in UK. We dont get venders here or cheerleaders, we are wimps in UK, we dont like the cold or rain of our English weather, but love to talk about it. Great poem Gershon, l never been able to write this style, .Thank you for sharing your work. J.

I'm with you on this one. And the prices they charge dont help

Those prices certainly don't help. Legal extortion.

It is a shout I hear often. Somehow, it creates a nostalgic feel in me. 'Ice...creaaaam, Ice creeaaaam ' was the more common sound, heard from the streets. As children, we used to rally round the ice cream vendor. Thanks Gershon for reviving childhood memories in me.

Glad to be of some small assistance, Valsa. Enjoy. ~ Gershon
