Ants In Your Pants

Ever wonder why we giggle
How exactly does it start
What makes it uncontrollable
Perhaps it's a silly fart

You see a goofy stranger
Like a dude from outer space
Before you can say Frank N. Stein
You're falling on your face

Giggles are quite intangible
You can't buy them at the store
Worth buckets full of greenbacks
Some gold and so much more

You're in a state of euphoria
Trying to stay calm but can't
It's a tonic for whatever ails you
When ants get in your pants

Giggles are worth much more than money can buy. Best medicine as they rightfully say. Always, Laura

I don't worry so much about them getting into my pants, just about them getting out again... Funny poem, Jack, as usual... Terry (I suppose you do mean ants and not... ummm... aunts...)
