Inspired By Carol Connell - Ants Living For Their Queen
O yes the tiny diligent little ant,
can nip, bite and sting I grant.
In defence and whilst collecting food,
As we do, but our actions crude.
They work together for their good,
As the human race surely should.
The future of their species dependent
On one, a queen, they won't relent.
Come winter in temperate climes,
Her survival always on their minds.
For as a rule winter for the workers
Means death for all no tear jerkers.
The queen goes into hibernation,
Gravid with the next generation.
Their way of life short but, no fuss,
A topic we should debate, for us?
Inspired by Carol Connell's poem 'Lesson From the Ant'
