Anteater Had Covid

Anteater had Covid and no one would come over
Swan ran toward his house with her pet dragonfly Clover.
They brought him ants freshly picked from the fallen log.
He was excited to see them, and so was Chester, his dog.

Thank you for coming! Do you want something to eat?
I wouldn’t! Warned a scurrying corner-hugging mouse. 
Of course, they did not want food from this germy house
But the generous anteater’s gesture was sweet.
