Behold the ant
Small and squishy, or so they say
Feeble and tiny, or so they claim
And yet…
Watch the ant work without ceasing
Watch her climb and build and lift and strive
Alone she is ended by the bottom of a shoe
In her thousands she makes fodder of your toes
Behold the ant
She is small, but she is mighty
She lifts boulders bigger than herself
She builds cities beneath our own
She farms, she wars, she thrives
Don’t mess with the little ant
She’s clearly doing something right
And there’s more of her than you
Many thanks for visiting my blog. I post updates on my writing career, I muse over storytelling and fiction, and I reflect on the curious and wonderful things in life.
