Ant Farm
Ant farm looks so fun
Mommy daddy! It’s an experiment!
It is not like other toys
It’s like science for girls and boys
I tap tap tap tap on the glass
No individuals in the mass
They work work work like machines
To serve serve serve serve the queen
By day 2 they’ve long tunnels
But I feel like changing the channel
They dig dig dig ‘til I’m really bored
Besides I’ve got to do my chores
Worker worker worker worker ants
Busy busy busy serving the queen
Everything they do is for the good
Of the ant farm colony
They’ve got long antennae
They meet quickly then say bye bye
What other things do they say?
Do they talk about my giant face?
I tap tap tap tap on the glass
No individuals in the mass
They work work work like machines
To serve serve serve serve the queen
One ant is carrying
Another around in its pincher things
Mommy says they’re mandibles
And says the other ant is disabled
Worker worker worker worker ants
Busy busy busy serving the queen
Everything they do is for the good
Of the ant farm colony
It’s day 3 I tap on the glass
Some move slow and some move fast
One appears to dance in place
It puts a smile on my face
That one looks strange
Mom says show compassion
Another looks lame
Dad calls it depression
He says they work too hard
They must be exhausted
Mom says it is fate
God bless the dear departed
On day 4 the farm looks bleak
In the corner I’m afraid to peek
There’s a pile of stuff behind the barn
I think I’ve had enough of this ant farm
I tap on the glass
Pretend to have antennae
And sing them a song
To wake them from their slumber
Exoskeletons
In an ugly pile
Work is not fun
Nature is vile
Boo hoo I cried
Aware, however vaguely,
I just caught a glimpse
Of my future
Stupid ant farm
