memories of tots and teens chasing the ice cream truck
"O, Sweet Summertime"



Racing to the tinny tunes of the ice cream truck

Young'ns clutching coins for a nickle cone, or two

Gay anticipation, smiles, and giggles running amuck

Parents, grandparents watching from a porch stoop

Ahh, tasty memories from long ago summer streets

Chasing the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry sweets

Personal note: my childhood memories from 1950's chasing the ice cream truck. There's been no better ice cream since then.
