ANTS
We are
Under a tree
Gathering food
Apples
Cranberries
Grapes
Raspberries
On checkered cloth.

We are laughing
At the humans
Who don’t notice
Us.
They are
Eating each other so
We guess they are
Not
Going to eat this food.

Look at Mister Worm
He’s diggin a hole
Through our apple.
Oh.
We were going to give that one
To the
Mother.

Ugh, this
Strawberry is heav
y

Woah!
We are flying through
The aaaiiirrr
r
The humans shook out
The blanket.
That stupid worm.
