The Icecream Not Taken
Two flavors lie in a ice cream stand,
And sorry I could not have them both
And be one hungry kid, I demand
And tasted one kind as much as I could
To where it melts in my mouth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better flavor,
Because it was more rich and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the people there
Had tried them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In taste no one would ever dream.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how icecream leads to icecream ,
I doubted if I should ever think about it.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere with sweet icecream:
Two flavors lied in a shop, and I
I took the one more flavorful,
And that has made the better icecream.
