The Scoop

Ice cream is the only food
that comes with rules.

You be good, you get ice cream.
You be bad, you no get ice cream.

Ice cream is the only food
that serves the Patriarchy

and the Matriarchy, equally.
It’s ice cream that’s keeping

us down. Down on the farm,
down in the mines, and

down at the mouth.
Ice cream is the only food

that’s made with real carrots
and real sticks

mixed right in.
But, they don’t

say that
on the carton.
