Out with the old

I remember this one time

I had chased the ice cream truck

for twelve blocks

I just love that tune they play.

when I took that first lick

I got brain freeze

and all the dinosaurs

living in my head

became extinct.

Lol literally. Too funny. You know where I used to live. I was surprised they sold Ice cream at night. There was a lot of pissed off neighbors who complained about the "noise" but I loved it. I kinda miss that quirky, ice cream truck.

i like the simplicity of the first half of this poem.
a story so much of us can relate to.

and the more puzzle like , second half.

Thanks......................

-- wow... this is quite the allegory that triggers thoughts about what it would take to make "all the dinosaurs living in my head become extinct"... -- the effort of "chasing" something that persistently would be a stupendous one but i'll give it a shot... -- excellent work, dear poet...

Ah, pure genius with no guar-gum.... btw I believe the Ice Cream Truck is an archetype as old as Logos itself.... I'm surprised the Greeks didn't mythologize about that funky truck. In Croquet, a perfect score. The brain freeze hunk is definitely pure genius. Bravo

I used to blow bubbles with guar-gum...they thickened up nicely and I would stick a candle in them to make a lantern...

[roarke]

o.k...... I usually stick candles in my cake, but to each their own... hahahaha, btw posted this to my FB page.
