Ants in Your Pants
Is that an ant
Upon your table
Munching everything
It's able?
If you had a
wooden shoe
You'd smash it flat,
Oh, wouldn't you?
Is that an ant
upon your aster
Multiplying fast,
then faster?
You'd use your DDT
if legal,
But truly you must
spare the eagle.
Is that an ant
Upon your calf
Etching out
its epitaph?
If you had
a spider handy
Your ants would be
arachno-candy!
