Ants, Ants, Ants,,,

Ants, Ants, Ants…

Ants, Ants, Everywhere
The rains come down
They come up stairs

Ants, Ants, Ants, Everywhere
The kitchens full of them
The cupboards now bare

Ants, Ants, Ants, Ants, Everywhere
The traps are out
Round them they dance, they don’t care

Ants, Ants, Ants, Ants, Ants,
Everywhere, Everywhere, 
EVERYWHERE!

Those pesky ants! Cute poem! Try putting a line of salt where ever you see them coming in. It worked for me. Blessings, Susan

I love the way you have made me remember the parade of ants and how they are so everywhere at the same time.

Caren, Last summer was the dance of the ants, the only thing that saved me was winter.

Hi Noel! How goes it? Like the rhythmical sense of your poem. And which one of us at sometime, have not been besieged by them? Ugh? Panagiota

Panagiota, Thanks, I picture the repetition as Ants on the move. They're coming for you, us, everyone, Everywhere!
