Just a Bowl of Rocky Road




Life is like ice cream
Sometimes it’s sweet,
Sometimes it’s rich,
Sometimes it’s messy,
Sometimes it’s soft;
Sometimes desirable, but often it’s bad for you.
Sometimes it brings on a smile.
Sometimes it makes your head ache.
Sometimes it’s tinged pink, and sometimes it’s green.
Sometimes it’s plain white vanilla;
sometimes it’s exotic, and sometimes it’s brown
and often has lumps in the middle.
We lick it, or bite it, or are dosed with a spoon.
Life reflects ice cream,
let’s savour ours soon.
