Herbert Nehrlich - Crossing The Water

I have a thing about those Aunts
and likewise love them tiny Ants
the former make some great demands
the latter do excel in dance.

They say gigantic populations
will often lead affected nations
to institute specific rations
hold onto patriot sensations.

Imagine thus the awesome sea
the other side the place to be
there in the great land of the free
where cows pronounce 'la vache qui rit',

If one could place a zillion Ants
their cousins, uncles and their Aunts
across the waters they'd advance,
I could be Mister Fancypants.



Note: Pronunciation ought to be strictly American English.
