About that flavor I never tried
that stared me in the eye
through ice cream laced windows
about choices I had to make
to make myself competitive...
those issues are repetitive
distinction on the run
exposed for summer fun?

Not really....silly.
The flavor still lies there
continually stares me in the face
even when I pick up the pace;
of the competition on the block
time to shed another frock..
confront new creamy mixtures
away from established fixtures.

A molt here..another there
need exposure to new treats
strange flavors lure;
new threats...old weapons go unsheathed
have I listened to advice?....take heed...

They stare me in the face
the years slough off...
the ice cream scoffs;
my underside remains exposed
and thin to vengeful stares;
when superficial skin is shed...
it's the future I sometimes dread.
