Sharing my World…

I live in the woods, in a campground year around,

I share with the woodland creatures this space in which I am found,

I share with the insects and the birds and the hogs from the ground,

I only wish, that the ants, so large, could understand,

I would prefer them to stay outside, not in, or anywhere around…

I prefer not to kill them, as killing anything is sin,

They were put here for a purpose as was I and my kin,

But for them to just move on in, to take over my life,

I am sorry, dear ants, this I cannot allow, such is my strife…

So I must, to rid them from my home, use a spray I would rather not,

But no other way have I found to get them to cease their entry & desist,

For they must also find shelter & food to further in their own way, exist…
