ICE CREAM ROUNDABOUT

Michael Edwards

 

 

ICE CREAM ROUNDABOUT

 

Chased by a hornet

as I clasp my cornet

by its crunchy sides

where the ice cream glides

as it melts in the sun

as I try to run

away from the hornet

as I clasp my cornet

by its crunchy sides

where the ice cream glides

as it melts in the sun …..

 

…..aw to hell with it

I’ve got ice cream all down my shirt.

    Good write and yes i have been there. Like the cartoon as well, seems like a dangerous occupation to me.

      Grease spots on trousers - that's me - just put another pair in the wash.

      Very Droll MICHAEL ~ cartoon and icicle. You describe the willfulness of the cornet perfectly but much more fun than a TUB ! In the CUBAN hotels they had cones ~especially of the BRITS long live Raul Castro ! BRIAN

        It's getting the last bits out of the bottom of the cornet that I love .
