The Ant

THE ANT Every crossword buff will know That the ants are real hard workers If you look at how they go It would seem that they’re no shirkers But perhaps in all that motion There’s a different motivation And their actual true devotion Is for fun and recreation Always circulating, meeting Notice how they are gregarious They touch two front feet in greeting Could be sharing jokes hilarious In encounters, stop and start he Isn’t passing strict instruction But inviting to a party Perhaps even reproduction While all ants delight to frolic In Formic acid vitriolic To the tongue of the ant eater There is nothing could be sweeter So they live life sans reserve Who can say what future throws They could end up as hors d’doeuvres For a beast with long thin nose
