The Chigger Dance

The thing about chiggers: I’m glad they’re not bigger. They’ll make you go dancing Like A. A. Milne’s Tigger. Avoid ‘em with vigor! When they pull the trigger, Get under your waistband, You may need a jigger. Of whiskey! Of whiskey! You’ve gotta ask right, 'Cuz chiggers are red And jiggers are white. O, chigger! O, jigger! They both like to bite. The former’s a flea; The latter’s a mite.

Okay. I don't think I've ever had a jigger, but I've sure had my share of chiggers! I like this a lot, Jeff.
