Drowning Ants
A little boy and his older sister
Caught twenty ants and put them in a jar
Then filled the jar with water
And watched the poor ants drown.
The police came and got the boy and girl
And took them away in a blue and white car
They went on trial for their very lives
And the judge wore a big red frown.
"Did you drown twenty innocent ants?"
The judged asked little brother.
"My sister did it!"
"It wasn't me!"
They each one blamed the other.
As punishment for their horrible crime
They were both sealed in a great huge jar
Which was slowly filled with water
And they watched each other drown.
