Ants

I've mused for hours trying to develop something brilli-ant, And have tossed aside many topics as being irrelev-ant. The subject of "ants" caught my fancy as being signific-ant, Tho' 'tis a matter of which I'm somewhat ignor-ant! I pen this with tongue in cheek and am a bit nonchal-ant, And enter territory at which I'm very nonconvers-ant. I'll broach the theme and maybe we'll become so cogniz-ant, That folks'll marvel at my savvy for being so observ-ant! I trust I'll be forgiven if I seem a bit insouci-ant, But I relish the chance to be a little flamboy-ant! My spouse opines that such versifying is ineleg-ant, Mortified that folks might think me a tippling inebri-ant! If here and there I've been some redund-ant, And some words and phrases are not exactly trench-ant, Please be merciful to me your humble serv-ant, For upon the issue of "ants" I'm not a savvy sav-ant! Hallelujah! 'Tis the end of this rhyme and I'm euphori-ant! This verse won't win Poem of the Month per my account-ant. But, no mind, 'tis fun now and then to play the miscre-ant, Penning outrageous verse for which I have a "pen"ch-ant!
