Jimmy Anderson Poet Limerick

Ants With Flaws - Flawless Spray

Flaws

The bugspray was very reliant.
It covered the ants all compliant.
   They nested all day
   then came out to play.
Mutations had turned them to giants.

Flawless

It turns out the spray was not lethal.
The ants drank it all and were gleeful.
   They danced and they played.
   And most of them stayed,
where they could be sure of a refill!!!


Written for SKAT's Flawless vs' Flaws contest
