He came running out of his narrow little shop, Berthillon
and chased me down the Ile St. Louis street, saying,
“Monsieur, Monsieur, nous avon pamplemousse!
It's ici, Monsieur. Your pamplemousse.
They just come in this matin, morning
and I've been working on the pamplemousse por vous.
I know how much you wanted to taste ce pamplemousse.
Come. Come and try some, it is so bon!
I've been watching out for you to come along today.
Every day you are asking. C'est ici!”

it happened.
ah, those little grapefruit ices.
This is quirky & charming, Jerry, and feels like a beginning to an even larger story.
This cracked me up, Jerry!
me too jerry.
Pamplemousse - such a great word it makes me laugh just to say it outloud. A huge word for grapefruit.
Lots of fun!
Should it be Ile?
Yes, thank you, Cherise!
Nice, but I, too agree that it feels like, or should be, a longer story.
I liked this and enjoyed reading it. I wish it could have continued.
