Ant Footles

What Ant Troops Surrender Field ants yield pants Field Ants as Farmers Field ants yield plants Jack’s pet peeve “Black ants!” Jack rants All the Survivalist could Find Black ant - snack scant For an Ant Vacation Black ants pack pants “Run Run Run” & “Creep Up Fast” Thief Ants’ Chief chants What Mac Won’t Put with Cheese Black ants? Mac can’t! Good Thing to Know about a Restaurant We can’t see ants When Ants climb Higher slants tire ants What He Doesn’t Know Won’t Kill Him Pete can’t eat ants Nov. 1, 2022 for 'A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE CHOICE' Poetry Contest

An antsy set of footle which definitely should have placed higher. ~ I've been reading the other winning entries, Andrea....I have always been under the impression that both lines of a footle have to rhyme....appears that I am wrong! ~ Regards // paul

I believe that a footle without rhyme loses much of its allure and demotes it from 1st to 2nd division. Had it been my form, I'd certainly put my *foot* down...ciao

No, Paul, as Brian insinuates in his blogs, people just started doing there own way of rhyming them, and some are not rhyming them at ALL. I find that incredibly lazy, and if I were the one who started footles, I would not accept it.
