I was working out back, while under the palms I've a tendon-cy to stand under the limbs to focus my eyes, and digest the surrounding glands cape Plantar-d there on the ground was a carpenter ant that caught my attention, and that is a fact! Disarming he was, determined as well making his way through tall blades of green grass As hungry as a calf, he had shinnyed himself He knuckled up under with all of his nerve Hopped on an iris, like a tropical bird and began eating his way through small fingers of lumbar that was stacked against the rear of the old cellar door Diget know? .. It was humerus to watch, how he testes his food! Consuming the wood from the bottom to top He tendon to stop, to take a deep thigh, then back to devour, while munching his lunch. Lashing away, until his jaws became sore He must have consumed a whole foot, of lumbar or more! Prostated he was, till he lymphed to the floor Tomarrow I'll have only sawdust to store ! Ureter about fables, and stories of ants They are truly able to eat a whole fence! Their orbital cavitiy is bladder and bigger than one might imagine…They've the gall to be pigs !! ____________________________________________________ 9/10/16 For Contest: Body of Work Sponsor Viv Words of body parts used: back palms tendon limbs eyes digest gland plantar digit arm blade calf shin knuckle nerve iris fingers lumbar ear cell humerus testes bottom thigh lash jaws foot prostate lymph marrow ureter orbital cavitiy bladder gall
