last lick

“People are asking for everything. West Wing tours, visits to the gift shop, meals, final photos in the White House for their Christmas cards — they are all trying to get their last lick of the ice cream cone,” said one senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly.

Then I said quickly to get the last lick, “Never thought about you.”

And just as I felt we had gotten the last lick by turning and going, Cecile said, “Don’t kill yourself to get back here. Stay out till sundown.”

But dem last lick burnt me lak fire.

Every last lick of peanut butter was gone, and the traps, still rigged, were empty.
