Season of the Ant

Mission, purpose, focus, Direction
  determined, persistent
  herky-jerky, near-frantic
      driven underground
      Buried by season's first Snow

As my dad forgot to warn me: If ants wore pants, they couldn't dance.

I want to print this on a t-shirt and say "I am having a " herky-jerky, near-frantic" day. Ha!

Such is the little ant; we humans could learn a lot from them. Enjoyed.
