Just a little snack, some crackers and some peanut butter Wholesome delicious treat to eat There ants the assaulter_ They had assaulted the whole jar Working like red wigglers Entering the jar, eating 'til filled Hauling off their weight_chiselers There must have been thousands of them Those small black sugar ants They were inside tightly sealed jar None stopping to sigh or pant One thing sure about their work Ethic, it's long and hard They cooperate to get done Well_I had a trump card Getting out that insect spray fast Spraying inside cabinet Just a little cleaned them out soon Offering no casket Learn from those slippery small ants Do your job and do it well Take into account their success Don't steal avoid jail cell

This one is just fun! I hate it when ants invade my house but they are fascinating to watch outside.

Lol. Pesky ants. Peanut butter ain't free. I wish it was though. My grandmother got me hooked on Peanut butter spoons when I was a child. Brings back fond memories. :) thank you for this poem

G'day Sara... Enjoyed this poem of yours Sara. I think we've all suffered from an ant invasion at some time so your poem does bring on a memory or two. Thank you Sara - Lindsay
