Position:Home>Poetry> Been to the Ice Cream Parlour lately?


Question:I started a list, will you check it over?
Mmmmph (at this hour of the morning…)
OK…for where and when? (Am I game for this?)
Groceries and garden.
(Sigh) I’ll try.
Ready now?
(Bet you can’t read my scribbles…)
Yesssssss.
Why aren’t you getting out of the car?
(Because I am NOT awake.)
Thought we were going to buy plants.
(Why is he going into the swim suit section?)
(OMG, he’s patting that model! It’s those new meds…)
Hun, do you remember that day in…
(Day, what…oh…you mean…that day…giggle.)
You wore one like this! (wicked grin)
(Ah, yes, I did…but not that skimpy…)
You looked so …ah…so…
(Hurrah for those new meds!)
(Softly) I did?
Yep!
When we’re through, we’ll stop at the Ice Cream place, my treat!
What’s the occasion?
(Gently touching his arm…)
Just because, just because.

When is this and t'other I've read (and I'm sure there are more) coming out in a book?
The Everyday Story of Country Folk

I can picture this scene -my Sunday routine coming up

(Are we going to the carboot or what?)
Yes, there are just some things
I must do 'for we go.
First off, I must find me teeth.
Do you by chance know where they are?
(Good God, woman can we just go!)
But, I've just got to send off this e-mail
I've just got the rabbit to feed,
Oh, yes and I might need my glasses
In case some-one passes
And then I'll know and can chat
What is the matter with your face?
Why are you grimacing like that?
I'm ready - just give me a mo
You really are such a grouch - now
What the heck did I do with my hat.

Distant sound of car engine being loudly revved up

Hopefully it was Ciallis, for you never know when the plumbing may leak! Well spoken, refreshing like lemon ice, and a little zinger for dessert. Are you writing about real life again? lol

I want my vanilla bean drizzled with hot fudge...

I have now .........It's been a while

Waaaawwwhhhoooo!!

Thank God and the doctor for Lavetra.

Not my usual fare but I like it, paints a picture.
