Summertime!

EIGHTEEN FLAVORS

by Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors--
Chocolate, lime and cherry,
Coffee, pumpkin, fudge-banana,
Caramel cream and boysenberry.
Rocky road and toasted almond,
Butterscotch, vanilla dip,
Butter-brickle, apple ripple,
Coconut and mocha chip,
Brandy peach and lemon custard,
Each scoop lovely, smooth, and round,
Tallest ice-cream cone in town,
Lying there (sniff) on the ground. 

Here's to a great summer day!  -- Fête Foreign
