A Crumb

A crumb fell down from Henry's lunch
Onto the ground outside.
It soon attracted one small ant;
Perhaps he was the guide

For minutes later, all his friends
And relatives did show.
He'd spread the word but how he did it,
I will never know.

That little crumb made quite a feast
For every ant around
But how they heard about it
Is that part that does astound.

Cute write, Ilene! Ants are amazing creatures but will forever be unwanted guests. Blessings!

Lovley rhyme Ilene:-) I am not a great ant fan but it fascinates me how they communicate and how they all follow the same path:-) hugs Jan xx
