reward yourself

you reward
yourself
with ice cream.
you are a child
at heart.
if you had
a box crayons
you would draw
a yellow
sun above a green
field
and sketch stick
figures
walking about.
a cow perhaps
would appear,
maybe a chicken.
and a fat pink pig.
you would use all
the colors
you could in
your crude barn yard
mural. then you
would reward yourself
with ice cream.
you do this
because you can.
