The first time I ever saw
someone dipping French fries
into soft ice cream
it was my own dear grandmother!
She and some of her widow friends
went to the local hamburger stand
and each ordered French fries
and ice cream cones. I thought
they were crazy when I saw them
dipping the fries into the ice cream!
Dipping hot things into something
cold? It didn't seem to make sense,
but I tried it later, and I liked it, too!
In fact, I had some today. If you've
never tried it, you should. Thanks, Grandma!
I too feel that it is an odd combination. However I should try it out! There are always surprises awaiting....! We should leave the beaten track and try new routes. Change is always fine. I guess your granny must have been enterprising!
Woahh it would be quote the combination of opposites there! ! Sweet n salty, cold and hot, not bad for a fancy change. Anyway it reads nice as an enjoyable poem so kudos! Pls pleez do comment/ write your thoughts under my newest poem too titled, ' smart phones and smart cars...."
No-oo. That looks as bad as the pumpkin ice cream my dad bought. It tasted like cold pumpkin pie with no topping.
The ice cream is vanilla, no pumpkin involved. (I never have liked pumpkin pie, by the way, so I know I wouldn't like pumpkin ice cream, either.) Thanks for commenting, Spock.
Kim, great poem! Nice picture! I have never eaten french fries with ice cream! Will try it soon.
Thanks, Hank! Let's meet at McDonald's later and buy some fries and ice cream and play some chess!
Thanks for the tip. I will. You tried fried icecream at a Chinese restaurant?
Yes, I have eaten fried ice cream, and not just at Chinese restaurants. Many other restaurants also serve it around here. Thanks for your comment, Doug!

I would like to translate this poem
I don't think the French would approve Enough, they allow Ketchup, When nobody looks! In any case, bon appetite, to all ice cream lovers and eaters of " frites" (that's what the French call them) Very amusing poem and very appetizingly, illustrated, too
Thank you, Sandra. Try it; you'll like it!
