Ice Cream Moral - Original

Once upon a Summer day
Two kids were by the street
And they were eating ice cream cones
So they could beat the heat.

One was a boy, not too young
His age was almost nine
He had a double chocolate scoop
And it tasted mighty fine.

Then there's the girl, his sister, who
Was eleven years of age;
She licked on her vanilla cone
Cause vanilla's all the rage.

Both were very happy
Eating cream of white and brown,
When the little boy licked just too hard
And a scoop fell to the ground.

The little girl just looked and laughed,
"Ha ha, you little brat;
You just dropped yours on the ground
So how do you like that?"

It's not nice to pick on others, so,
As you could surely tell,
She went back to her own ice cream
And suddenly it fell.

The little boy saw this scene
Of two creams on the floor
And then went back to eating his,
For he had one scoop more.

"I like this very much," he said,
His sister looking bum,
"My chocolate cone tastes sweeter
Now that you have none."
