I've been through "complicated"
Its time for "simple" to take a seat-
So I looked for a job with a lot less stress
that would take me off my feet

I applied over here, and applied over there-
Finally got a stroke of luck-
Here I sit, next to the curb,
In my ice cream truck.

Mothers with their children
gather with gleaming faces-
I give the bars with nuts and toffee
to those with dental braces.
