We were first! We were!

A posse of ants marched

Around the corner.

One, Edmund Hilary

Looked up and saw

The apple of his eye.

Twin peaks, each with

A cherry on top;

A topless woman sun-baking.

He climbed, he took a bite

Unaware of his consequences

From his actions, she let out

A loud proverbial "Ouch! You little f**k!"

Followed by a almighty slap.

Harder than he expected.

Crushed, immobilised 

Somewhat fatal.

He fell, from over

Five hundred ant stories high.

In outrage, the posse

Galloped around in circles;

Paused, regrouped, deliberated.

Then took their friend

To the ant recycling spare parts plant.

As for twin peaks you ask

She was never seen again.

Excerpts from the OLD ANT TESTAMENT

                         " We were here first!"

Next week.

Nick the nit hangs onto

Her short and curlies

From an impeding tsunami

Of shower gel lather.

Excerpts from the NEW INSECTS TESTAMENT

                         " We were here first too!"

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew...this is as unique as it gets, my friend, and so damn entertaining...you write these clever pieces with such fluidity and what you post is never, ever, dull... I want to break this down into what I love most but i cannot...from Sir Edmund climbing for a bite, through the parts plant and onto the coming attractions, this is pure genius... well-done, my friend.,..bravo :D

[andrew mitchell]

I don't know where your mind is sometimes but I like where it takes me. Wonderful is all I can say.

[andrew mitchell]

lol Thanks Ken for reading. I am a great fan of Spike Milligan, Benny Hill, John Lennon, John Cleese, Dave Allen And Monty Python sketches, hence the madness of my writes are derived from those I wish to emulate out of admiration for their work in humour, comedy and wit. crazy themes I know, but I can't match it with the best here on WC, so and with no disrespect I get bored reading same theme scenarios here even though they are excellent, hence I want to produce something witty, mad, off the scale, just to add something different. of course my humour is mad but who cares! lol. Thank you Ken for taking the ride!:):):)

Hahaha. Very, very funny!

I was clearing out the RR box and found this one of yours in there. Apologies for missing it.

As always, your poem is incredibly inventive, full of wit and charm and they always leave a smile on the face of the reader.

As for Hilary the ant, how could he resist those twin peaks?! Worth dying for I imagine!

Deliciously hilarious writing. Very well done.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Funny as ever Mr Convict! You have weaved strands together in this one to create great mirth.
Picky bits now:
Did you mean A topless woman sun-'baking'. as it is more commonly sun-bathing?

And I wondered if it might be better as
'He climbed, he took a bite
Unaware of the consequences
Of his actions,'

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks John I shall change that stanza, as for sun baking- just aussie slang for the real deal.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ahh you Aussies! Get a real language.

[andrew mitchell]

Aye! It's Too Proper John.

[ReedWrite]

I knew there was a side of history we weren't privy to.
Who knew?
Another unique, cheeky piece.
Love these lines:
Crushed, immobilised
Somewhat fatal.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you ReedWrite , yes cheeky ants leave their bites but they get their own in return:)

[A.marie.speaks]
