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!

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..

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.

Your fault. Shoulda squashed them when you had the chance. My wife originally landed in Texas and hated the fire ants
