I Refuse To Work Said the Ant

I refuse to work today said the miserable ant
As he began to hoist the heaviest crackers
onto his broken, torn sensitive back
startling his comrades who reported him
for being lazy and trying to get out of work
which annoyed them in every direction 
as they marched in a line to the pink side of the blue bowl.
