Sweet Memories
by Cecilia
Way back in another century when I was wee,
the art of 'nanner split making was taught to me.
Daddy told me there are things you will need.
First and foremost a boat dish is the key.
The shape kept the ingredients in place.
We assembled the necessities along the counter.
My job was peeling the nanners.
Daddy cut them perfectly down the center,

He was right their shape, fit in the boat dish with ease.
Nanners were covered with three scoops of Neapolitan.
Gooey pecans, chocolate syrup flowed freely.
Whip cream was the fun part.

be told here.
As Daddy handed me a long neck spoon,
my senses were awakened.
My mouth was watering, my eyes were shining and my head was swooning.
Mama looked on in dismay at the mess we made.
Secretly she smiled, she knew memories were being
