Ants In Your Pants

Ever wonder why we giggle How does it exactly start What makes it uncontrollable Perhaps it's a silly fart Giggles are quite intangible You can't buy 'em at the store Worth buckets full of greenbacks Some gold and so much more You're in a state of euphoria You try to stay calm but can't It's a tonic for whatever ails you When ants get in your pants Ever wonder why we giggle How exactly does it start They say it's very good for the soul And does wonders for your heart © Jack Ellison 2012

" a state of euphoria" - so true! Of course it's good for the soul you're living proof of that. Always, Laura

The ants up your way must be comics! The ones in Pa hurt when they bite! Very funny. Your are infectious!

And if you believe that, got some properties in Florida I'd like you take a look at... you think our ants are big, Florida gators are sometimes 83 feet long! Okay, where's my pills! Love ya... Jack xox

You're right, up here in the frozen North, some have been known to grow to six feet from one end to their other end with nasty big biters! Speaking a strange lingo, they sometimes run for office but no one knows how to speak "antenese" They roam our vast wastelands in great hordes destroying everything in their path! (con't)
