The Ant
And what is that you have with you,
my tiny insect friend?
Such ambition I behold,
as you crawl across my hand
You carry such a heavy load,
for your larder, I suppose.
You were sidetracked from your road,
while on your way to earth below
Were you to bite me, it will sting
and I would think you quite unkind
If you're my friend, then I will bring
a second chance for you to find
A deal I'll make, but you must know
You mustn't bite me, if you please....
Then I'll put you down, and let you go
to your home beneath the trees
