we all scream
En route to the liquor store
when I spot the white truck.
Oh, to be young again!
Hard to believe
there was a time when those
cold treats were enough.
Eskimo Pie
Dreamsicle
Drumstick
These days
I need something much stronger—
And after a full day behind the wheel,
combing the streets for kids
and listening to that God-awful jingle
I’m sure he does, too.
