The Ice Cream Truck Comes Again

The Ice Cream Truck Comes Again

The sound 
of The Ice 
Cream Truck 
is coming 
down My 
Street..

and I begin 
searching 
anxiously 
in my pocket 
for some
Money,..
Hoping to
find enough
change to
buy myself a
Pineapple Soda.

"Twice a Child,
Once a Man.."

I Smile at
that Old
Expression
now suddenly 
coming into 
My Head as 
I slurp cool, 
sweet mouthfuls.

(of  the Most
Delicious Pineapple
Soda in The Whole
Wide World.)
