Ice Cream Honeymoon Poem by Donal Mahoney

Ice Cream Honeymoon



On a sunny day
in Harvard Yard
blonde from Norway weds
son of chieftain
from Rwanda after
both receive degrees
with high honors.

They drive off
in a silver Porsche
touring America
on their honeymoon
until they're stopped
in a small town.
A taillight's out.

The officer says
'You're the first
salt and pepper
I've ever ticketed'
and the bride says
'Sir, we're your first
hot fudge sundae.'

Ha! Absolutely love this poem! Though I've never been against interracial marriages anyway, I still now will not be able to see such a marriage without recalling those wonderful words, we're your first hot fudge such sundae! Brilliant!
