Scorpions In the Farm
A farmer stocked in his farm
scorpions to serve him as guards
snakes to give him critical news
black ants to patrol the farmland
Moles he brought as cultivators
locusts to harvest the ripe crops
trusted rats to store the harvests
butterflies to oversee activities
Every creature was industrious
but an enemy appeared suddenly
hurricane came from the high seas
scorpions and all were swept away
Farmer trusted powers he planted
but everything got swept with him
