I spied the Golden Horde,
or, was it just some ants
crawling up my pants?

Ants
I see an ant crawling along the train platform.
We are like ants in the universe's vast form.
Life as hard as stone, like this ant I am alone,
But I know I will return home, each milestone.

SPRING TINY ANTS
seen an ant,
though it’s spring not hot enough
see the march of ants
~
yes, seen a ant small
tinier than a dot, speck
a group of small ants

Ants
A billion ants all march'd in line
Their Queen doth bruise 'n' bleed them dry
For these poor creatures, world stops not
And no eyes turn'd when one doth drop.
A billion ants all beat 'n' broke
Their minds be torn, their souls revoked
Be turn'd to slaves and free from trust
To feed their monster's greed 'n' lust.
A billion ants whom

Butterflies, Moths, Ants and Bugs
A butterfly lights from flower to flower
with golden wings, he whiles away each sunny hour.
A moth comes out at night, while the world dreams,
guided by the light of silvery moonbeams.
An ant toils away, working hard for the pack,
dressing modestly, he's attired only in black.
I try not to judge, as I consider each

The Queen of Ants
The Queen of Ants flies from her throne,
all in her resplendent wings.
She summons many an eager drone.
Oh, so happily she sings.
It won't be so very long before
(and I'm not joshing you or kidding)
she births a million ants or more.
Each one will do her bidding.

Ants In Your Pants
Ever wonder why we giggle
How does it actually start
What makes it uncontrollable
Perhaps it's a silly old fart
Giggles are quite intangible
You can't buy 'em at the store
Worth buckets full of greenbacks
Some gold and so much more
You're in a state of euphoria
You try to stay calm but can't
It's a tonic for whatever ails you
When ants get in

ANTS SNOWED IN WINTER-
O’ the ground is feeling cool turning cold
As days before winter spoil
Questions solid froze,
Where do the ants go when the snow comes?
