Ants

Do you ever take the time to look closely at the ants

Just roll up your pants,

So they don't bite you.

I did just that as I sat back in my sun lounger one hot summers day .

I saw hundreds ants come out to play,

Tho they weren't playing they were scurrying around

What were they doing they don't stop to rest,

People poison them and call them a pest.

I looked more closely to see each ant is stratistically doing their job,

But what.

Whatever it is it is important to them.

So I won't pour boiling water over them or feed them with poison.

I just don't want them to come indoors as I think they just might

So I put the sugar and food out of their sight.

ANTS HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE WHEN OUTDOORS! THEY ARE CALLED WORKER ANTS, AND GATHER FOOD FOR THEIR QUEEN! OF COURSE, YOU MUST ELIMIMATE, WHEN THEY ENTER YOUR DOMAIN! SUCH AS ROACHES AND FLEAS! PLEASE DO A FLEA AND ROACH CHECK, WHEN I COME TO VISIT!dancing TRAVIS

Haha I get the heeby jeebies by anything that crawls,

So me watching the ants was really a brave attempt.lol.


As for roaches me even typing the name is sending me into a panic attack.

I'm a lover of furry animals tho but not insects or reptiles.


Those I would just tolerate at a distance.


Yes tea is if I had ants inside the house I'd phone rent a kill.

Sorry folks, but I have had problems with Carpenter ants when my neighbor cut down a tree and destroyed their home - they got in my shed and started to destroy it. Had to poison them. Sugar ants are a problem, but I spray around the foundation with Home Defense and that keeps them out. Nice poem Melba - thanks for sharing!!wave angel2
