Just one cornetto

Two words describe
many kiddies' dream:
the first one is ice,
the second is cream.

When joined together,
they become ice cream.
Some say it's delicious,
others that it is supreme.

Throughout summer,
and in winter sometimes,
we can hear Mr.Whippy's
harmonious chimes.

The children will hold,
in their tiny hands,
a gelato that's sprinkled
with hundred and thousands.

It may be one cornetto
or perhaps a ninety-nine,
but whatever they choose
it will be just fine.

It doesn't really matter
what the flavour is;
whether cherry or vanilla,
the taste will be bliss.
