Blown Ant

Ant said to Elephant,
It is said that I can kill you,
And for real good,
What good is your size,
When you cannot withstand a mice,
After all what you do ,
Uproot trees and eat plants,
Then go about on aimless walks,
When you are tired,
You simply dip yourself in cool mire,
For such a simple but weak life,
I do not know why the god has given you such a hefty body,
Elephant was abashed and had nothing to reply,
He thought and took a deep breath,
Unknowingly he let that breath loose,
Ant came in the way,
And was simply blown far away.
