Step out the front door 
ice cream truck there already 
think I know what’s next 

walk right past the truck 
bit of a surprise I guess 
time for the playground 

glad we showed restraint 
how much ice cream is too much?
oh look here it comes 

inevitable 
now it’s only a question—
nope it’s chocolate 

child grows a goatee
after only a few bites 
this calls for a wipe 

somehow the slides seem faster
