Ant Fires Bite

Ants bite me tent baby sleeps 
front dad pours fuel rids runs
down to camp fire dance ablaze
tunnel fire ants dead																  ~                                                                                                                                    
dad running with legs hairless
baby in Safety flash fire
fumes will travel fire ant's den 
taught camp Carol-ing                                                                                                              -

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders April 12, 2012 at 10:51 PM A difficult lesson learned! Poor dad...LOL. Thanks for your kind comments today. I'm glad you liked my poem. I have read some of your chestnuts? They are interesting. Are they a specific type of form outside the usual? Just curious...Blessings, Rhonda :)) John Beam April 12, 2012 at 11:02 PM Yes it was well learned too and a Chestnut is a British slang term for an old joke, often as old chestnut. I am study and writing about literature, at the same time and having fun doing it so, the running inside joke
