cherry vanilla should be the day
you are going Home I mean,
home to stay:
sweet cherry vanilla.
and there on the side
a slice of cake, almost bridal
with silver beading
and you'll be reading
all your favorites poems at once
dressed in rose red and
when the light dims
and there's no turning back
or mistaking the signs
you'll be dreaming again of the
Rose, Rose Red
upon the Rood of Time...

Note: of course idea for the poem other than the ice cream and cake is the loveliest of poems in the English language by the Irishman Wiliam Butler Yeats: To The Rose Upon the Rood of Time
