Ant Freeway


The heat of summer is upon us
The ants are going crazy all the while
They need to collect everything
They need to store their winter’s supply
They find their way into the house
Ever searching for their grub
They like sugar and honey too
They like anything that comes from you
Scraps of food left on your plate
Anything that’s left; won’t go to waste
For them is just another bargain basement
In their hunt
I see their little trails
Winding up my cupboard walls
Under ledges, out of sight
Until you find them …

Outside the house is just the same
The utilise everything in their game
Trees and flowers, bits of wood
Everything becomes their freeway
That’s understood!
They search and search all day long
Even along the garden hose!
I see them speeding along their way
Carrying everything in their way
Millions of tiny little ants
Racing up and down their ant freeway!
