ANTSY  PANTSY

 

Everyone knows an ant can’t

Move mountains hill lobbyists maybe

Compound eyes unenlightened tunnel vision

Seeing war through rose-tinted trifocals

 

            Stud poker flush beats straight

            Underground colonies dealt full house

            Pismire tunnel of love cave-in

Entrenched soldiers scurrying for cover

 

            Red fire ants bullyrag invaders

            Crushed velvet wingless female wasps

            Termites sometimes called white emmets

            Black metallic luster dominating ecosystem

 

Amber fossils primitive species predating

McCretaceous WASP ancestors sworn aba-cusses

B.C. – Before Computers A.D. – Anno

Domino shedding pips naked truths

 

Jokers wild White House of

Cards collapses stacked deck pushovers

Survivors guilt of Titanic malfeasance

Against humanity How’s Wonderland Alice
