What is it about Ice Cream?

what is the deal with ice cream
why does everyone love it so,
i personally could take it or leave it

however whenever i talk favorite
foods with others, ice cream always
comes up in the conversation as
one of their favorites

they seem to eat it by the pints
or gallons, not just one scoop
or maybe two, a pint? a gallon?

i have also noticed they can name
ice creams flavors and the makers
of these certain flavors, and of course
tell you with certainty which one is better

if i have ice cream, i don't really know
the difference in the makers, to me
vanilla is, well vanilla and the same
with chocolate

these ice cream lovers eat it all year long
even in our winter months, it is something
they must have

i remember this from childhood:
"you scream, i scream, we all scream for
ice cream" i remember chanting that
when the good humor truck would drive
in our block, and we would make a mad
dash into the house to get some money
from our parents to buy the ice cream

i never finished mine, i threw half
of it away, i guess that was my first sign!

perhaps i need to find a flavor that would
make me love it to, perhaps i just stick with
the norm and don't appreciate it as others do

or maybe, i really just don't love it!

:O)
