Mom used to
step on
the chocolate
milk.
She would
every once
in a great while
buy a
half a gallon
of store brand
chocolate
milk-
no bunnies
or zany cowboy
logos at
extra cost-
then she'd
refill the gallon
of "white"
milk, pour
the sweet treat
over a half
gallon plain
making it
less rich.
No less tasty.
Mama had 6 kids,
watched nickels
and dimes.
She stepped on
the milk but
I never got
used to it
any other way.
I drink it
that way
still.
