№ 376: Just Dessert?

Guardian: The big scoop: America's favorite ice-cream flavor, revealed
Not only are we in the middle of National Ice Cream Month but it is National Ice Cream Day on Sunday. This extensive celebration of frozen cream comes to us thanks to President Ronald Reagan (clearly a puppet of big ice-cream) who signed these observances into public law in 1984.  













Choc-o-late? Really?
Then vanilla and butter pecan?
I have to ask, “What in hell's going on?”
Cookies n créme, mint chocolate chip?
Chocolate chip cookie dough?
Strawberry and pistachio?
I mean! Get a grip!

Have armies of Putin's Facebook trolls
padded voting rolls, skewing these polls?
Are responders on Moscow's payroll?
I can not accept this.
I think it's a plot.
When it comes to ice-cream,
I like coffee. A lot!

Of course, the ignorant may disagree
and favor a flavor I do not savor.
There is no explaining human behavior.
