The Penny-Ice Man
In summer when the sun is high,
And children's lips are parched and dry,
An ice is just the thing to try
So this young man who comes, 'tis plain,
From Saffron Hill or Leather Lane,
A store of pence will quickly gain.
"A lemon ice tor me," says Fred;
Cries Sue, "No, have a cream instead."
"A raspberry!" shouts Newsboy Ned.
"What fun! Although we're now in June,
It feels"—says Ned—"this afternoon,
Like eating winter with a spoon!"
