Frozenella Steps Out Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Frozenella steppped out midwinter
onto her glacial and rustic porch and longed
but for the frozen custard of summer
and heaped not a little with just ripened strawberries
and sang a little off tune
for a certain popsicled magnificence
a pinkish flowering moon
and well stocked sorbets, raspberry shrub
for a june kind of day but we always long
for what's not here at any contrary time of year
Im in the mood for a snap crackle thirst
so slaked by lemonade or maybe limeade
by a home made orangeade crescendo
in a summery shade
to quench the sun
to fling the fleecy sherpa away
and rest with the whirring electric fan
or well cranked well cranked peach pecan
snow ice cream with a breeze out of dreamland
so bye and bye.
happy tear in my eye
the crystal beaded Coca Cola.
