Quoth The Raven,,,Ice Cream???,,,

Once You Pondered,,,Weak And Weary,,,
Upon Some Sunday,,,Drab And Dreary,,,
Laying Upon Your Couch,,,Watching T V,,,
And Some Soda,,,You Were Drinking,,,
Of Somewhere Else,,,You Were Thinking,,,
Nodding Off,,,And Nearly Dreaming,,,
Your Eye Lids Were,,,Heavy And Sinking,,

There Came A Knocking,,,Upon Your Door,,,
That Suddenly,,,Did Awake Thee,,,
Was It Real,,,Or Were You Dreaming,,,
So You Jumped Up,,,And To The Door,,,To See,,,
Whom,,,This Uninvited Stranger,,,Might Be,,,
Then You Opened The Door,,,Only To See,,,
This Strange Man,,,Standing On Your Front Steps,,,
With A Picnic Basket,,,In His Hands,,,
Can I Help Thee!!!,,,With Questioned Breath,,,
Without Response,,,He Just Gazed At Me,,,
Like In Some Hypnotic Trance,,,Very Still,,,Stood He,,,

Once Upon The Front Steps,,,Pondered,,,
Who Is This Man,,,Who Has No Purpose,,,Stated,,,
As I Gazed Into His Eyes,,,And For His Reply,,,Waited,,,
An Awkward Moment,,,For An Eternity It Seemed,,,
And Then He Spoke,,,His Voice,,,Startling Me,,,
I Could'nt Help But Be,,,Intrigued By His Picnic Basket,,,
Yet I Did Not Want To,,,Seem Anxious About It,,,
And Then He Began,,,Talking To Me,,,

I Have Been Admiring You,,,From Down The Street,,,
I Have Lived Here Now,,,For The Better Part Of A Year,,,
But We Could Never Seem,,,To Find The Chance To Meet,,,
And Today,,,Seemed Like The Perfect Chance,,,My Dear,,,
And Perhaps,,,For Your Fancy,,,A Chance To Treat,,,
Sweets For The Sweet,,,Unless My Presence,,,You Fear,,,

You Invited Me Into Your Parlor,,,Where We Watched T V,,,
And When I Opened My Basket,,,You were Watching Me,,,
You Thought I Did Not See,,,You Breathe,,,A Sigh Of Relief,,,
When I Pulled Out The Ice Cream,,,And Other Toppings,,,
A Half Gallon Of Vanilla Blue Bell Ice Cream,,,And Two Spoons,,,
A Bottle Of Hersheys Chocolate Syrup,,,And Two Bowls,,,
And As I Opened Up The Ice Cream,,,You Began To Swoon,,,
And I Had To Ask,,,Is This Too Much,,,Is This Too Soon,,,
And No,,,Was Her Reply,,,But Me Thinketh,,,She Lied,,,

Scoop After Scoop,,,Until Our Bowls Were Full,,,
Then The Hersheys Chocolate Syrup,,,So Generously Poured,,,
And From The Picnic Basket,,,I Produced The Whipped Cream,,,
The Pecans,,,The Black Walnuts,,,And The Cherry On Topp,,,
And Until We Could Pop,,,We Indulged In This Delight,,,
And We Laughed,,,Until The Afternoon,,,Turned Into Night,,,
Sadly,,,When It Was All Gone,,,She Escorted Me To The Door,,,
Parting With The Ice Cream And Her,,,Caused Me Such Sorrow,,,
Would It Be So Wrong To Ask,,,To Return Upon The Morrow,,,

Once Upon A Front Step,,,Pondered,,,
As I Watched Him,,,Walk Away,,,
And I Told Him,,,Upon That Very Day,,,
The Next Time You Knock,,,Upon My Chamber Doors,,,
To Bring,,,Two Tubs Of Blue Bell Ice Cream,,,
Two Tubs,,,Nothing Less,,,Nothing More,,,
One For The Afternoon,,,And One For The Midnight,,,
Before You Think I'm Easy,,,Or Any Other Ideas Come To You,,,
It Has To Be Blue Bell Ice Cream,,,Nothing Else Will Do,,,
And Now That I Made That One Thing,,,Perfectly Clear,,,
Back To His House,,,And Over The Hill,,,He Disappeared,,,

Once Upon A Living Room Floor,,,I Sat And Pondered,,,
About This Stranger,,,And I Could Not Help But Wonder,,,
If He Would Ever Return,,,Like He Had Done Before,,,
To Eat Ice Cream,,,Upon My Living Room Floor,,,
Then A Voice Came To Me,,,Nothing Less,,,Nothing More,,,

Of Course He Will,,,He's Not Stupid,,,
He Left His Hersheys Chocolate Syrup,,,

Quoth The Raven,,,,Forevermore,,,
