End of May Moo
Summer in the suburbs includes the ever popular ice cream truck. For the past several years they have annoyed the heck out of me with a never-ending "Pop Goes the Weasel" music as they patrol the streets. If I never hear it again, that is just fine.
Alas, one learns the hard way to be careful for what one wishes for. Yes, the ice cream truck is here for the season. And, yes, it has changed its tune.
Some of you may be old enough to have attended the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. If not, most likely you have been to Disney Land or Disney World. Has the song already begun to resound in your head? That day in 1965, we rode the Disney ride at the World's Fair and heard enough of "It's A Small World After All" to last us a lifetime.
There may be Mayhem Near Philadelphia this summer.

Enjoy
I share your annoyance with Pop Goes the Weasel for the same reason. The ice cream truck here flies down our rural street because the driver knows there are no children here. What waste the gas?
Sorry you're now being afflicted by It's a Small World After All. I loved it at the 1964 World's Fair but my enthusiasm for it has waned totally since then.
Cheers!

Ahh, life in the country--no ice cream trucks, and only the most infrequent door-to-door sales!
(Deleted earlier post for major spelling error--so embarrassed!)
Sigh. Moooooing right along with you!
I was probably there at the New York Worlds Fair when you were. I grew up in the Hudson Valley, about 1 hour north of NYC.

Voila, consider it done!

On the other hand, where I live, the idea of a frequest ice cream van sounds heavenly!
