Fourteen Ticks On Her Back

She has fourteen ticks on her back And she is still alive I thought she would be dead by number five How many ticks is it going to take to kill this old broad, do I buy a snake? Ticks on her back. How many do you see? I wish this old crone was anyone except me.

At camp, at age 11, I burned 53 ticks out of my arms... That was nothing. One kid had over 100. They were in his scalp too. Whee! What Fun!

I am sure that we both do Ann - about the same level of love.

If you lived out here in the woods you would have to get used to it Hank.
