I scream for…

I lament the Ben-and-Jerryification
Of the creamy flavorful cold dessert 
Most all of us love for its texture and
Its taste. Ice cream should be smooth.
Ice cream should be velvety. Lumps
Of candy bars and cookies complicate
A straightforward treat. I don't want
My tongue to encounter popcorn when
I look for the excitement of  a neutral
Flavor,  a simple chocolate. Uninvited
Caramel candy bars or hard peppermint  
Mar my experience. I turn to gelato for
What I crave. "You scream, I scream, we
All scream for ice cream." What's your 
Favorite flavor? A clever pun or a single
Origin like plain old vanilla or coffee?
