The Scoop

Waiting for ice cream And looking around, All versions of people Are there to be found: The old and the toddlers, The skinny and fat, The bald and the bearded, The full-bodied tat; The neat and the slobby , The antsy and calm, Each there for the ice cream, A sticky day balm. I doubt we’d be sharing Political views, But united deciding Which flavor to choose.

I thought it was sweet that President Biden liked ice cream. Therefore your last stanza is my favorite. My favorite is Chunky Monkey by Ben & Jerry's. Maybe you'll try this one someday Ilene. :) Now, after reading your poem, I want ice cream!

Ice cream seems to be very American. I believe it can unite us. Good thoughts.
