Intolerant Joy

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

I still dream of ice cream, in my wiser years adore

Walking past this delectable treat is impossible in a store

Cursed with lactose intolerance, yet still I want more

Dealing with the consequences is to know what for

The taste of this dessert takes me back to when I was a boy

Although there are new offerings, some are made of soy

I always prefer the milk version, the others I will not toy

Despite my circumstance, dear ice cream, you always bring me joy
