Nature - a Tough Task Master

They swarm from a hole in the ground
Some running left some right
Some straight ahead others double back

They charge they bustle chaotically frantically
Can this be their last day?
Is there a plan? Maybe it’s just a panic attack 

The mayhem continues the bustle unabated
They cover the available land
Is that the plan? I can’t see it

Each having found their spot they settle
They shuffle they shuffle
Side to side moving but the slightest bit

They begin to stir agitated agitated
They surge forward a maddened army
Renting the air with a blood curdling battle cry

Toot Toot
It’s on time today
Off to work now, bye!
