Ice Cream Dream

Ice Cream in Matlache 2009

For we will buy an ice cream shop,
and it will be a tasty stop
for kiddies, beach bums, and their pals,
for muscly guys and pretty gals.

Oh, they will make a line that’s long
to purchase treats for just a song
like butter brickle and creamsickle
or a pickle for a nickle.

There’ll be an awning red and white
a neon sign to light the night
big jukebox filled with forty fives
a jangly bell when someone arrives.

We’ll dish up treats sublimely smooth
good for the soul, bad for the tooth.
We’ll serve smiles and laughter gay,
then go swimming in our bay.
