Frozen Dessert

Our freezer must always have ice cream.

A low supply sends an alert

But my husband’s last trip to the market

Brought home something called “frozen dessert.”

 

The packaging looked just like always.

We missed the distinction at first

So we ate it, but knowing the difference,

I thought we should have been reimbursed.

 

For a “frozen dessert” needs no dairy –

Just some fillers and sugars and oil

As compared to what’s used to make ice cream;

Well, the thought makes my blood start to boil.

 

Now I’ve learned to read all of the labels

Since dessert-wise, my number 1 goal

Is to know that my favorite flavor

Of ICE CREAM gets put in my bowl.
