Haiku 3,457

In the quiet park
The peanut vendors chuckle
As the clouds dissolve

Summer must be coming: the outdoor vendors have returned. In my neighborhood, that means the Mr. Softee truck is back. How I hate that truck! Not because I dislike ice cream--though I rarely eat it--but because of the tinkling little jingle Mr. Softee plays. It's always the same song: "Turkey in the Straw," played at maximum volume. Why can't he change his tune? Wouldn't anyone go mad driving a truck around all day blasting that saccharin ditty?
