Ice Cream Man Date: Friday, 1st December 2006 @ 04:11:03 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: S_Cardinal Ice cream man, play a song for me Here, I wallow in my pity, The one I remember; it will wake me up While you drive throughout the city. I’m leaning forward to see out my window Through a small piece of it, I mean, Here I am all hunched up in my chair Trying to visualize your scene. The sun, it is getting lower I see sparkles in the trees, “Please Ice cream man, won’t you play As the branches move in the breeze?” Your song, it will get me to focus On the outside of my world, And, also help me to remember Being a wee-tiny little girl. Here I am, an aged old widow With a child still stuck inside, deeply, “Please I ask, as I sob and cry Ice cream man, play a song for me?” Oh how I wish I could run outside Before the sun goes completely down, And before my heart here sinks to nothing “Oh ice cream man, please stay in town!” SL_Wat December 01, 2006 This poem is Copyright © S_Cardinal Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
