Dang, it's been nippy the last few days. This poem just feels like the end of summer, doesn't it?
Dropped Ice Cream
by Hal Sirowitz
The good thing about
dropping a chocolate
ice cream cone on
your lap, rather than
the floor, mother said,
is you can retrieve it
and eat it, unless someone
was recently sitting
on your lap. Then, your
lap will be filled with germs.
That’s why it’s good hygiene
to keep your lap unoccupied,
especially before contemplating
eating an ice cream cone.
