Gerardito

 

GERARDITO

Gerardito
Hits the spot

Ice cream & milk
All swished together.
A treat many kids have invented
But not as perfectly
As when Gerardo was a kid.

So good and so loved that
His family called it the diminutive of his name: Gerardito.

An invention of simple joy
That hits it so good even today.

After two brutal back-to-back hospitalizations
Gerardito goes down cold and creamy to faithfully hit that spot again.
Sweetly. Simply.
Gerardito.

How to make a Gerardito: Place a heaping scoop of ice cream into a cup. Pour enough milk into the cup. Don't ask how much. Just figure it out. Stir the shit out of it. Gulp it down. Enjoy the moment.
