The Keyboard Ant

As, at a keyboard ant, I idly stare,
I wonder, is either of us really aware
of each other's conscious sphere,
though both of us are together, here.
Wherever he walks, he picks a letter. 
I'm sorry, reader - I can do no better.

I saw the title and had to see what amusing ditty awaited me. The amusements as you fashioned did, in fact, happen. I was grin infused and thank you for putting a smile in my attitude. SOUPY

Ha!! Ha!! I enjoyed the humor. I imagine the ant was dead set on either getting food or getting another dead ant to see to it that it is buried. Thank you for the laughter. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.
