Fire Ants!

Fire ants! Fire ants! All over my yard! Fire ants! Fire ants! Why do you try so hard? There are little hills of demons all over my land Filled with the little critters that I just can’t stand! The sting and they bite and leave scars on me. The have even killed my very favorite tree! Fire ants! Fire ants! Are making me so mad! Fire ants! Fire ants! Where’s that can of diesel I had? I will be diggin’ in a flower bed when suddenly Those darn fire ants are swarming all over me! I run to turn on the water and grab the water hose So I can wash away the fire burning under my clothes! Fire ants! Fire ants! Taking over Texas! Fire ants! Fire ants! Meaner than my exes! One of these days, I will manage to eradicatecate Just as soon as someone improved fire ant bait My land will then have a fire ant sign Saying stay off of my property, it is mine! Fire ants! Fire ants! Making evil mounds! Fire ants! Fire ants! If you got ‘em, trouble abounds!
