TO ANT FOR MAX AND TALLY
TO AN ANT - FOR MAX AND TALLY, APRIL 2007
Little labourer toiling in the sun
Why do you work so hard - do you have fun
The way we mortals do at the end of day?
What is it ants do in their time of play?
There’s no one watching you, save me
And I am on your side -
I’ve watched you shove and heave
That crumb an hour or more -
It’s much too big beside -
Perhaps your friends will say you’re lazy
And don’t do your bit
But really they would never know -
If for you I carried it.
You will not lose your job.
There’s no one keeping score!
I’ll keep you in a little box
And feed you evermore.
A Ha! Your buddy’s coming up
To shove the other end.
How did he know? Ne’er turned or saw
His aid you beg him rend!
Never heard you squeak for help
My nose an inch away -
Do ants communicate with thoughts
What mortals have to say.
