Secret Agent Ant

I watched it crawl across my desk today, it was sneaky, and teeny, but I saw it. So I followed it, as it progressed steadily away from my eye. And it was completely unafraid of big giant me. I was amazed as I watched it move across a page of paper with printing. A confidential file, but can an ant read? Should I shake him off and move it? What if this ant is a scout from another country? Gathering data on us? What if he is taking photos of the missive as he stroll-rolls over it? I blow gently on the paper, and the ant glides off, gracefully, Effortlessly, giving nothing away. Not dropping a camera or Anything. Feeling safe, I continued to Watch his progress, imagining The trouble I will be in for Leaving this file on my desk, As the Secret Agent Ant Clicks away, sending the Info back to his mothership. The ant gives me a wink, Puts on a space suit and Disappears. Uh-oh!

I was going to comfort you- to say that it's okay, it was probably just Atom Ant... but a spacesuit? Yes, it does sound like you're in trouble! ;D
