It was a sunny summer day.
\nMickey and friends, were out to play.
\nThey\u2019d been sporting for quite a while\u2026.
\nWhen a sound heard,
\nBrought each lad smile. <\/p>\n

Around the corner came a tinkling\u2026
\nAn engine\u2019s hum and a happy ringing.
\nEach child carried a buck
\nFor this moment\u2026
\nThe ice cream truck.<\/p>\n

Such was the case today\u2026
\nThe children formed a line to pay
\nFor the fabled Double Fudgie treat,
\nThe stuff of dreams,
\nA delight to eat.<\/p>\n

The queue was formed, just in time
\nAnd little Mickey was fifth in line.
\nThe Fudgie had surely been blessed\u2026
\nOf all those offered,
\nIt was the best.<\/p>\n

Little by little Mick crept nearer.
\nTo what couldn\u2019t have been any dearer.
\nSweet chocolate goodness on a stick\u2026
\nTime moved slowly\u2026
\n\u201cLet my turn come quick.\u201d<\/p>\n

One step more\u2026 his opportunity arrived\u2026
\n(Mick was patient and he had survived.)
\n\u201cWhat\u2019ll it be?\u201dThe friendly man inquired.
\n\u201cA Double Fudgie!!\u201d
\n(Twas all he desired.)<\/p>\n

The vendor\u2019s smile suddenly disappeared
\nAs he uttered words Mick had always feared.
\n\u201cSorry buddy, Bill just got the last one.\u201d
\nBlackness descended
\nOver Mickey\u2019s dessert sun.<\/p>\n

Stunned in unanticipated disbelief,
\nMick was laid speechless in his grief.
\n\u201cHey kid, speak up\u2026 what\u2019ll it be?\u201d
\n\u201cGotta get goin\u2019\u2026
\n\u201cIt\u2019s quarter past three.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA Strawberry Twister.\u201d was Mick\u2019s reply.
\n(Not what he had intended to buy.)
\nA second choice\u2026 not quite as good\u2026
\nThe die was cast\u2026
\nAnd so too childhood.<\/p>\n

Twister was not what Mickey had craved.
\n(To spent the cash, which he had saved.)
\nBut though his choice was second rated,
\nMick enjoyed his treat\u2026
\nAnd he ate it.<\/p>\n

A bright realization now occurred
\nTo a boy, whose hope had been deferred.
\nA lesson that grew so grand,
\nUseful later
\nWhen he formed a band.<\/p>\n

Years later, a songwriter, searching for lines,
\nMick recalled events from a past time.
\nHe remembered his Fudgie, so divine\u2026
\nHow he settled
\nAnd still came out fine.<\/p>\n

In a song, that most of you know,
\nYou can hear Mick\u2019s philosophy flow:<\/p>\n

?You can\u2019t always get what you want
\n But If you try some time,
\n You just might find\u2026
\n You can get what you need. ?<\/p>\n

Little choices can lead to big things.
\nTake this advice from a guy who sings.
\nConcession can lead to a fine conclusion\u2026
\nCompromise is sometimes a nice solution.<\/p>\n
