The Icecream Man

Beads of sweat dot my burnt forehead

As I start to give in to the scorching heat

The ice cream man anthem ring throughout the suburban neighborhood

Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla swirl

With a warm smile he greets us 

Eyes of rainbow sprinkles

Fresh waffle cone brown complexion

Nose cherry red

We watch as our hero and his whip cream white head fades into the heat
