Aww I'm all emotional over the queen ant! Maybe I'll become a Jainist missionary with a focus on converting wild animals :)

Oh trust you to feel sorry for the queen ant, I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to assassinate one for a long time underneath my driveway, :) hey I was in a real stampede on a zebra crossing once, long story! Dilly the janist whisperer, sounds good to me, lol! Cheers David

Wow, I don't usually love shape poetry but dangit this is so clever I can't help myself. You had me at z\e\b\r\a\s. I'm so jealous that now I have to try one xD

Heya Jaymee, possibly one of my better haiku’s, was a shame I had to put it through the character shredder, but needs must be met lol! Cheers David
