Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Antsy Pantsy

I was sitting on my lawn chair 
And while brushing off my pants 
I noticed inside some crinkled wrinkles 
There were two little, tiny red ants
 
I thought to brush them off of me 
But I just wanted to wait to see 
If those two little, tiny red ants 
Wanted to crawl onto my knee
 
They had crawled up and down my leg 
And they got tangled in some of my hair 
So, gently I had cut them loose 
And I had set them back on the chair
 
They had run all around in circles 
And they seemed as happy as could be! 
Especially, when they crawled up my leg again 
And they took, two bites of me...Ouch!

Bill Baker December 12, 2023 at 6:00 PM You have a knack of telling a good tale through your poetry, Charlie. Very entertaining poetry by the way. Thanks for sharing some poetry that is fun to read, my friend. Bill

Hiya Sharma December 11, 2023 at 6:53 PM Oh haha, this quite turned painful in the end lol.. I don't like red ants too, when they bit it's just very creepy.. You've creatively depicted that scene here with wonderful rhymes and flow..

Paul Bell December 11, 2023 at 10:51 AM This is what happens when you show a bit of love to ants. Reminds me of that guy who went into the lion's enclosure. He didn't do it again.
