Notes About The Poem

Jar of Peanut Butter

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

Chris Tian February 4, 2015 at 4:15 PM 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
