Mickey Chills [Mickey May #3]
So far this month, we've had wisps of Mickey and tears of Mickey; now it's time to chill, and chill with perhaps the very best incarnation of Mickey: the Mickey Ice Cream Bar. JB Conway knows the power of these frozen confections, even when they're melting.
The haiku theme for this month is Mickey May. Each week, JB Conway will evoke the Mouse in haiku. Maybe classic Mickey, maybe Sorceror Mickey, maybe Mickey in a manner unimagined.
Are you ready, kids?
It's really not the best ice cream.
It's a brittle chocolate-ish shell over a frozen confection several cows away from creamy.
It costs triple what you'd pay for the same thing in a convenience store.
But people love it. They take pictures of themselves eating it. While they're eating it, their eyes take on a dreamy cast as if they're falling in love again for the first time or watching really good porn.
Mickey Ice Cream Bar - what power you have!
JB's evocative haiku hits close to the mark: these ice cream bars do 'melt sugar dreams', and those dreams are of Disney.
The secret ingredient isn't what a machine put into the package. It's what you put into the simple experience of eating an average ice cream bar.
Location does matter!
And if you're eating a Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Disney World, it will be the best ice cream you've ever tasted.
If you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
