I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

My Dad, when a student at UCLA
worked, for he had his tuition to pay

He once sold ice-cream - what a treat!
Riding a bicycle from street to street.

"Crunchy munchy,
right after lunchy!
It's good,
you should!"

He screamed this cry
to the kids and adults passing by

When they heard this welcome sound
They would soon crowd around

With his scoop he'd go whisk-whisk
On good days, his trade was brisk.

A single scoop then cost a dime
(Doesn't that sound sublime?)

But there was one little boy
For whom ice cream was a joy

Though he only had five cents
Pocket money from his parents

"Mr. Man, please," he'd say to Dad
And Dad wanted to make him glad

Though it was hard-earned money
And giving it up wasn't really funny

Dad covered for this kid each time
Replacing the nickel with his own dime.

Well, the child screamed with joy
Not even knowing of Dad's ploy!

Years later, Dad confessed
That when giving he felt truly blessed.
