Concerning An Ant's Dna

Skiing on a cup of java 
  the little ant got burned
Limping out to lick his wounds
  he decided to return

Once again the ant was scalded
  yet he seemed quite unconcerned
I guess that ants are just not programmed
  for this lesson to be learned

The next step is lava, The rock that is molten; When that swim is mastered, The ants are revolting’

Tenacious little insects. Pound for pound the supreme champions of the natural world.

G, I think it's pretty straightforward; The ant can't say, "I shan't"! ?? Hmmm...ab

I think you're right. They always seem to come back at the wrong time!
