Fire Ants

Some men dance hoping for a romance
Some men dance keeping fit of their pants
but the dance most obscene
is the dance made to glean
from your clothes a mad horde of fire ants

For John and Carolyn's Bug contest

Charles, Solid outing here. We have them right in our back yard. They can sting. And the worst part is that my wife is allergic to them. Whew! You hit home for me here. Regards, Gerard.
