The Ice Cream Truck

[Michael J Masiko]

The Ice Cream Truck

Mama opened up the windows

put away our winter clothes

She said: "from now on You'll wear those"

then she gave us a choice

play outside or do inside chores

so We were looking quickly

for loose change in the cushions

then outside before come Mamas boot

the Race of every Girl and Boy

down the street sweet memory rolls

that's what the ice cream truck is

don't know, what is all the ruckus

I'll eat all My dinner ... OK?

Mama could Ya just give Me a quarter!

in dreams of the Pied Piper

She danced a silhouette

He played: "no use cryin' over spilt milk"

that's when She found Her Voice

dollar from Her pocket buying Smiles

that's what the ice cream truck is

so it goes, what is Hers as much His

I'll eat all My dinner, and more

Thank You Mama may I have some water?
