Ant Conversations…

As an ant,

I want to thank you,

For leaving those little crumbs,

You do when you go out or turn off the light…

Sugar too, every now and then,

A tasty treat my family & I get to eat,

No don’t worry about cleaning,

That countertop or sink,

We really appreciate it, that’s what we think…

Do us a favor though and throw away that Raid,

It smells so pretty but kills, not a fair trade…

We are actually quite clean,

Our homes and den always preened,

Unlike you, we get all the crumbs,

No need to vacuum, like you,

Or wipe at the same time we hum…
