Ants Bees and Bonnet

~Bees in my bonnet This joke my friends aptly conceived Asleep on the creek, I’m Monett A favorite bonnet mother weaved Joke is on me by friends perceived ~Bonnet weaved of dry corn shucks Fish aren’t biting a snooze in order Mixing insects and honey sucks My best friends’ have prank disorder I'm sleeping to a tape recorder ~Honey in one’s favorite hat Bees in one’s bonnet and ants in the pants Honey the bees are trying to get at Very soon I arose to do twisting dance It got to be the most awesome prance ~Chance of a dance, disrobe and be bare This day happened to me Monett Being bare in spring frigid air Bonnet in the river I fret My favorite bonnet I regret ~On the Bayou river Boys will always be the boys Fun with friends, they did deliver The only change is size of their toys Lost my bonnet in these days of joys For and in Honor of Carol Brown And Contest: Favorite Hat or Bonnet

Wow! So witty that you had me laughing out loud, John, thinking of the bees in the bonnets and ants in the pants. I'd just close the contest because nothing can match this! To answer you question, I have not posted my pantuom because it needs to be rewritten yet again. Doubt I'll make it into that contest. But you definitely have a winner here, John! What a jig I'd be doing with the bees and the ants. Love, Carolyn
