i like people who have big ideas.
like flying to the moon
or making the cubs winners
or being in love forever.
my big idea is to have a fleet of food trucks.
many summers ago i was an ice cream man in illinois.
(the stories i could tell.)
but those were the days when gas was a buck
and my popsicles were a quarter.
try getting a popsicle for a quarter today.
well ive got some good news for ya:
you can
and you will
if its a tonys food truck.
