THE ICE CREAM


THE ICE CREAM

Heard an
Ice cream
Truck
Down the
Road.

Ran to
It
At top
Speed,
Desiring
The delicious 
Cold
Treat.

Got a
Flavor
Of
My choice
In a cone,
Happily
Enjoying it
All the way
Home.

That at least
Was
My intent.. 
But
A crow
Had
Other
Plans.

It started 
To
Caw
At the sight
Of me
From atop
A nearby
Tree.

I walked 
Under
It in 
Quick paces
Knowing
What the
Cawing 
Meant...
Alas, I was
Outfitted
By the
Crow
Who
Swooped
Down
Oh my
Half 
Eaten
Ice cream
Cone,
Carrying
Away
From me
In its. 
Beak!
