Upset by the horror caused by ants that plundered into my computer
Ants are moving inside my computer monitor I feel helpless where to find an exterminator
What the humans have done to the ant community Why they come in groups to attack our property Who is responsible to invite this menace How can we get rid of such penance
Ants plundered our sugar and bread They damaged clothing by eating thread They eat flowers and roots of plants in the garden They carry away food of pets and human They bite and inject painful formic acid I wonder why they have so much greed
I am totally upset by this tiny vermin It has conspired to stop my writing
ants are to be admired for their communal lifestyle and their strength and intelligence. now, that being said..i worked for a major pest control company for 4 years. here is what to do. go out to the feed and seed or dept store and find something called "terro" ant traps. they will find it, feed on it, take the poison back to the queen and that will destroy the whole colony. that is the only way!!!!

I don't believe I have read a poem about ants before, but I enjoyed it. It's interesting how strong they are for how little they are. But you're right; we seem to wreck their world, and they do the same to us. It's a vicious cycle. Well written :)

Yes,they have made you a target.
When the food of a poet will be eaten by the ants,the poet will have to starve.
This is absolutely clear conspiracy against the poets.
Poets need to laugh at times for they can't live by bread alone.
Thanks for stopping by dear friend.
I love how witty this poem is! At first, I thought this was a poem to support the ants but I enjoyed how you strenghtened the view on ants as "annoying." Very witty!

I soak cotton balls in a mixture of borax, sugar, and water and place them where I find the biggest concentration of ants. They're gone in just a matter of days. After that I spray all of the baseboards and corners with ant spray and place baits around the outside of my house.
