Short Childhoodchocolate Poems

Ice Cream

At twelve I grasped my nickel
and headed back to school after lunch
just happened there was a dairy bar
on the way
double scoop of chocolate mint
must be eaten before the bell rings
lick it quick - savour that sweet creamy taste
chew up the chocolate chips
now its running down my chin and fingers
cone is getting soggy
munch munch down to the 
last mushy morsel
have to eat it fast
oh, no there is the bell
have to find a water fountain fast..
