Stop me and buy one

Children came running,
Clamouring at the window,
Coins in sticky hands.


Now the colours fade,
No more jaunty siren call,
Stop me and buy one.

my entry for this weeks #derelictthursday challenge.

How sad a sight is this .....although my pulse did quicken when I saw it!

Remember how we used to run after the van when we heard the music ....  and how the ice cream used to melt all over your hands before you eat it, or biting of the bottom of a cornet and sucking the ice cream through ....

Hardly ice-cream weather today, grey and wet .... seem to have lost my mojo a bit ... maybe it's the weather ....

Have a good day all!
