ANTS!

I remember the ants…
Red, stinging, biting ants!
Ants in my pants,
Ants in my shoes,
Ants in my hair,
I was covered with BIG RED ANTS!

Ouch! I cried as I stood up and stomped
Swiping my hair
Pounding my bottom
Scuffing my shoes
MOM!! I yelled…

Now I was running!
Running away from those. Old red ants.
A quick bath
A new outfit
Different shoes
Combed hair

AAAAH!! A tootsie pop
Life just doesn’t get much better than that,
When you’re seven.
