tried to buy a little of it a new brain and new shoes thought the name had meaning, like Good humor stood for good treats my mamma never had a dollar for, placed , after selecting a two dollar pair of Adidas and a fifty cents pair of socks on the counter, and a brain with street sense common, the ( tatooed brown girl, kinda hot) smiling, chuckled when I tried to pay with my food stamps. Where as I was serious she thought I was kidding as she said we don't take EBT's and I asked can I get you next week. meaning, innocently , the balance. She did give me her number, but no credit. I walked out empty headed , handed, skipping with a 555 ou812 written on my forehead.
