two scoops

is it too early for ice cream?
I say no.
it's never too early
for a double scoop
on a sugar cone from
the ice cream
store.
rocky road, mint chip,
maybe pralines and cream
this time around.
or French vanilla.
coffee bean.
it's going to be a hot
one out there. mid nineties
without a cloud in the sky.
you deserve it. in fact
you deserve a gallon
and to sit under a tree
in the shade
with a big spoon.
