The old ice chest
stands in the back hall
waiting for the ice man
to make his call
The ice card is
up in the window
25 cents piece of ice
to be delivered tomorrow
We mustn’t forget
to put the ice pan
on the floor
so we won’t have a flood going out
the back door
Our perishables will be frozen as
hard as can be
til the next cake of ice
is a necessity
~ Alice Hall
