A Jar of Ants

A prank gone bad

I'm holding a jar of ants

Why do this you say?

Im waiting here for my friend
It's a little game we play

Pranks we pull every day

And now it is my turn

When I put them in his pants

It will really burn.

Here he comes down the path

Time to rake him over coals

What the heck!

They're on me now!

Guess I should have thought about the holes.

Needs an illustration...with the narrative...yet the humor is...a catch phrase towards the end...so we do not see the wholes for all their worth during the beginning of the verse...so that is why I said an illustration of this in front of an audience would work better with this style of a commentary...so to speak...makes for good laughter and visual representation...

This is great. I really like the way you can visualize the whole scene taking place in the fewest of words.
