To Frozen Yogurt Stick
A. Gautam
Shall I compare you to an ice-cream cone?
You are sweeter as you melt away
Rough winds do not shake your golden throne
You are awesome on a summer day
At times, you’re quiet on that wooden stick
in the freezer, as I adore
And always it is you that I would pick
My dear, I like you even more
