07. Ice Cream

Klondikes? I'd do anything for 'em.

Choc'late malts? You know I adore 'em.

The folks at Good Humor know me by name

Though I do love my Breyers just the same -

But there's no one who could outdo your confections;

You're the only object of my affections.

Marshmallows and sprinkles taste so good

Upon this flavor so well understood.

In the richest hot fudge we both escape.

Together we form a heart shape,

Leaving my worries to start heading south

For love is best when it melts in your mouth.
