Fresh like ...

like ...

your smile.
Yeah. That kinda fresh.

And contagious like the Swine Flu
(which is not so fresh)
But far faster than any stupid vaccine

Alert the mayor because ...
That cheesy town fair ain't got nothin on this baby.
'Cause those rides only FEEL like they take your breath away.

So ...
It may not be much.
Empty like my pockets
Hallow like an Easter bunny
emptier than the oldest promises

BUT

if you're interested in fresh
at all
in any way
well then ...
it's a start, hey?
