DMC: "Ketchup & Ice Cream" by Miranda Barnes




Ketchup & Ice Cream

"I love you, Ice Cream."
"I love you too, but Ketchup,
we won't work as two."
Till one day, there's a 
science breakthrough!
"So what if no one likes ketchup-
flavored ice cream?"
"Yes, that's true! And now,
I'll always be with you."
