Formic Poems | Examples


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

Creature Features

THE MEERKAT
Meerkats are delightful beasts,
Arousing warm affection
They stand in groups discrete
Looking in the same direction

COW
How now brown cow
A bestowal to the world art thou
Miracle of God's construction
Four stomachs in mass production

THE PIG
Our blessings upon you abound
In our hearts you did awaken
A sense of gratitude profound
For bringing home the bacon

CHICKENS
In these days of Genetic modification
There is a question that begs
Should we yield to the great temptation
To get a chickens with four wings and six legs

THE URBAN PIGEON
I've nothing against the urban pigeon
But could it not maintain a smidgeon
Of caution when it makes its flyway
In the middle of a six lane highway

THE ANT
The ant delights to frolic
In Formic acid vitriolic
But on the tongue of the Ant Eater
There is nothing could be sweeter

THE BULL
His spontaneous emanation
Given without solicitation 
Should encouraged him on a mission
To be a salesman or politician
