R. Jones arrived. He did this for half an hour. Then he remembered that he hadn't shaved. He went upstairs to do this. In shaving he made the mistake of trying to swear at the ants at the same time. He failed and cut himself badly.

As he was finishing there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!", he called. The knocking ceased and the door opened.

"it's me--Jones", said a voice.

"The ants are in the kitchen", replied Larry.

"Oh, I don't exterminate ants", said the voice.

To say the least, this statement surprised Larry. What the heck?", he mumbled, wiping his face. "I'll put a stop to this nonsense!"

He walked down the stairs to find a gigantic ant waiting for him.

"We exterminate people", R. Jones explained.

THE END

MY CASTLE ON VENUS
I built me a castle on Venus:
It sure cost me a lot,
But it stood like an isle of beauty
Amid the jungle's unholy rot.

Then the planet upped
And shook her mighty frame.
So through the hills, the 'quakes,
A-roaring, came.

And shook down the door,
Smashed the walls,
Tore up the floor,
And caved in the halls!

Thus my castle was ruined
With a crash and a roar.
Now it's gone forever, and
I don't live there any more.

--David English
