Slotted spoon at funny angle
left on table -- clue to dangle.
Melting brown and white congeals
in floor smears left by furtive heels.
"An ice cream theft again, I see?"
Response: "Why are you asking me?"
(Behold the calm, bland, rational look
of boyhood immersed in a book.)
"Perhaps because the carton's dry --
not a drop to be seen by the naked eye."

Yes, I've been thinking about ice cream. Only thinking . . . :)
