Dont Mess With Ants

I didn’t get on with my neighbour next Door, he didn’t like me being happy I’ll turn you into a mouse he said or a rat Or perhaps a dog, or a skunk or a cat, Fancy that, he is no magician, just a man. I looked up at the clouds, rain came down Landed on my lawn, Each drop Went plop! I obviously drifted, I want to be an ant I shouted at the neighbour, And then I awoke Well my neighbour turned me into an ant, This is what happened. Hey, watch out with that shoe whatever You do, my neighbour walked around with an ant spray, Better not get in his way, Horrible ant, he muttered, you are a pest Sprays me, puts garden poison Near my favorite rose Not minding me, And continues to water the garden With his hose I will drown, I’ll die, I felt tiny, vulnerable and angry, Made friends with the ant army general Hear this he said in an authoritarian voice, Our revenge will show Ants will backfire at your evil sprays And careless human ways, We will multiply and grow big, So big, that over man we will tower, And expose our intelligent ant super-power, Ants will run this planet, And we will eat our own weak kind, Engrave that in your mind. Our anti human army, is organized, Intelligent and fearless, and there Are masses of us, never ending, Ferocious and unbending. We will be so huge, Soldiers and more army ant soldiers. And delightedly let off our fuse. I froze. I crawled to the grumpy old man I begged him to make me human Again, and promised him And that I would refrain And never deign To show a happy face, and so Once more human, I told him Of the evil intention of Billions of soldier ants, Who would eradicate man and plants. Not at this time, in this millennium, Said grumpy, I kind of like you now, Great job, you know their plot Together we’ll eradicate the lot!
