An Ode to Triple Mango Ice Cream
Baskin-Robbins, you've done it right!
I am in Williamsburg, Virginia on spring break (almost over now) for a reunion with my graduate school gal friends from almost 30 years ago. When I was done with walking the streets of Colonial Williamsburg, I stumbled upon a Baskin-Robbins store near a parking lot that I tucked my car in. Mango is one of my favorite fruits, so I was excited beyond words to see they have a triple mango ice cream variety. It was so good I had to write an ode in limerick to it.
To Baskin-Robbins, I cheer, cry, and scream,
For their triple mango ice cream dream.
With real mango bites,
And juice that delights,
Its flavor and taste reigns supreme!
In a cup or a cone, gleaming so bright,
Rests a mango delight, so pure and light.
With juice, flesh, and flavor so grand,
From a faraway tropical land,
Baskin-Robbins, you've done it just right!

Sounds delicious!
Great job
Oooo, so happy that you managed to try the mango flavour! Loved your poem!
Great limerick!🙃… I love mangoes and Baskin Robbins ice cream… usually have it when I visit the coast 🏖️
BR- World Class Chocolate is my fave - so few of the stores now. Cold Stone has taken over. I love mangoes- don’t like papaya much. 👏❤️
I love mangoes! I have not heard of a Baskin and Robbins since junior high school. Cute little spring diddy!
