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!"

I shall never look at a group of ants the same again! My steps shall be better calculated, to give my utmost admiration to their society!

How's that? ; )
