Mr Whippy 1967
That music!
I waited with much glee
the ice cream truck
music playing
It came to me!
my coins so sweated
in my hand
just one dollop
for me
in my hand
no double ice cream for me
no matter
Here it was
a pyramid of glee
I saved enough for chocolate coated
wind and rain
smelling gumboots
shivering duly noted
MR Whippy man
Mind that child
a way to learn
I wait patiently
for my turn
I waited with much glee
the ice cream truck
music playing
It came to me!
my coins so sweated
in my hand
just one dollop
for me
in my hand
no double ice cream for me
no matter
Here it was
a pyramid of glee
I saved enough for chocolate coated
wind and rain
smelling gumboots
shivering duly noted
MR Whippy man
Mind that child
a way to learn
I wait patiently
for my turn

Enjoyed your nostalgic write. During summer, a "MR Whippy" truck travels occasionally through my neighborhood. Sadly, I do not chase after it with my coins so sweated in my hand.
how funny, it wasn't what you expected, I so love that!
I actually never realised how far he drove his truck..lol
wow! how cool is that! my Mr Whippy guy travelled so far, wasn't it great! yet we couldn't afford the double ice cream but who cared. it was just yummy!
Thank you
Nice write Sophia....Kathy
Now over here across the ditch My Whippy played "Greensleeves". Was it the same for you Kiwis? A lovely trip down memory lane.
