Discuss: The Ice Cream Man

You hear that special song?
You know it won’t be long.
You hear it getting clearer?
You know it’s getting nearer.

Get up and move your feet.
It’s coming down your street.
You’d better have a buck.

Here comes the little truck.

Hear the people shout and cheer,
"The Ice Cream Man!
The Ice Cream Man!
The Ice Cream Man is here!"

This is cute, Jen. My kids are definitely the ones shouting and asking for a buck!

Incidently, and off topic to this particular poem, but I took my son to the library to find some early readers to bring home. And, largely, they're painfully dry and dull. If you're ever looking for inspiration or a new project, I bet you could write something interesting!

Thanks,

I've got stuff out there to children's publishers.....I'm just waiting for the phone to ring!

I just got an image in my head of the two 'yip yip' guys on sesame street.

"Jen..."

"yip yip yip yip"

"JENNNNN"
