Cold Comfort-First Scoop
Yeah, I did my time
on the ice cream scooper line.
On my first day
the most senior server said,
“we'll call him Buffalo Bob.”
supposing the reference
was to the Howdy Doody host
and not to my corpulence.
I was told that
one would likely lose
their affection
for the creamy confection.
Not so in my case.
To this very day
Ice cream ranks
second or third place
in my dessert predilection.
My favorites
an orange sherbert, vanilla
milkshake,
chocolate chip
on a plain cone,
and in the Fall months
a seasonal affair
with quarterback crunch.

Dear GW,
Fabulous! Buffalo Bob! Too awesome for words. I enjoyed the imagery and visit back to your time served online as a scooper. Yummy! I can only hope you’d have scooped a little extra in my dish had I had the good fortune to know you back then 😄🍦🍨🍧
Great write. H🌷
