Ants

Are there ants in my tea? Might be.
Are there ants in the water? What a bother.
Are there ants in the sugar? Small and big, for sure!
Watch out!
A parade of ants carries fresh fallen blossoms.
Ants with fierce bites hide in the grass.
Ants with gold bottoms explore the forest floor.
Agitated ants run mysterious zig-zags on the bathroom floor at night.
We guess the earth here is at least 60% pure ants.
But despite dad’s warning rhymes, I’ve been careful to avoid
any chance to have ants in my pants.
