Yeah, yeah I know. We’ve had a Spring MMP already. Yeah, Yeah I know. Some of you are still dealin’ with snow and stuff. Yeah, Yeah I know. It’s the start of Fall in opposite world.
However, in South Jawja it’s Spring and that means many (ok a couple) things.
It means the start of pine pollen season. My back porch is covered in pine pollen. Everything outside is covered in pine pollen. Dang neighbors pine trees! Why can’t they keep the pollen in their own yards where it belongs! That’s another rant entirely though.
For me the true herald of Spring is not birdies chirpin’ away. It’s the return of Bizarro World Ice Cream Truck. Really. It’s amongst us already with all it’s tinny tingly music blarin’ away and disturbin’ my back porch [del]drunken stupor[/del] reverie.
It plays the most bizarre assortment of tunes! Here’s a samplin’ of what I’ve heard comin’ out of the blarin’ speakers:
Christmas in Spring…
Silent Night
Joy To The World
Silver Bells
Jingle Bells
The Wild, Wild West…
Home, Home On The Range
The Yellow Rose of Texas
Oh Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie
A Salute to Rodgers and Hammerstein…
Edelweiss
The Surrey With The Fringe On Top
My Favorite Things
Give It Up For Irving Berlin…
In Your Easter Bonnet
Seriously. Every dang day! Late afternoon. This is the Bizarro World Ice Cream Truck seranade throughout da ‘hood. For what seems like hours on end.
This almost makes me want to climb up on the roof with a shotgun!
Lucky for Bizarro World Ice Cream Truck driver I am in the habit of havin’ a beerverage or two to mellow me out.
Ok, I’ve put up the MMP…… take it away!
