The Popsicle Man Poem by Juan Olivarez

The Popsicle Man



Here comes the ice cream truck,
I hear the ditty on the breeze.
A hundred kids running amok,
Give me a quarter please.

Popsicle, popsicle, I need a popsicle,
Something creamy for my tonsicles.

Ice cream sandwiches, Klondike bars,
See the street fill up with imps.
Running heedless of the many cars,
Screaming like a bunch of chimps.

Popsicle, popsicle, I need a popsicle,
Something to tickle my tonsicles.

Ice cream cones, and rainbow pushups,
A heavenly situation.
Blue and green with orange tops,
So many sherbet combinations.

Mr. popsicle man, Mr. popsicle man,
Give me a popsicle quick as you can.

This really does give me cause to recall the simple days when I was a mere boy, thoroughly enjoying life just as it came to me. Thanks for the memory Juan.
